I'm trying to get sendmail with IDA up and running on a system that has NIS but is not Internet. Currently I am running a BSD4.3 variant on a Sequent Symmetry with sendmail 5.65 and IDA 1.4.2. Mind you that all of this is being done in my own directories so as not to screw up what works since I am having awful luck. We use NIS stuff heavily and are not Internet. I'm not a sysadmin so I'm not all wise and find extracting all the Internet related stuff out of the docs a bit confusing. We rely mostly on UUCP to do the mail off-site, ether for local and also use SMTP. Uh, also sdbm. So if someone has their m4 sendmail.cf configuration working with NIS I'd like to see it. I don't know what to do with the aliases, since some of the examples have mail.aliases defined as the ALIASES, and I don't know why. I am still confused on some basic stuff, so if I sound off the wall it's just because I don't know what I am talking about. Please try to muddle through :) email replies appreciated, i'll try to summarize, if it seems relevant on a more general scale. j newsgst@execu.com ^--yeah, this is my job on volunteer time
