Oh, you mean the _NeXT_ distribution. Ha ha. Those appendices are all just Berkeley's documentation converted to WriteNow--word for word identical. >So my question is this...uhm, what is the appendix C trying to show >me how to do?

You can find raw materials on sutro.sfsu.edu in ~ftp/pub; see README.sendmail sendmail.diskless.diff sendmail.sutro.diff patch.Z (if you need it) The diskless version uses the diskfull one as a forwarder, and munges the headers to appear to come from it (since they use the same netinfo passwd and the diskless machines are all MXed just in case). If you want to see how THAT's done, grab nslookup.tar.Z as well so you can query the DNS from your cubes. Anyway, you should be able to draw upon these as examples. -=EPS=- (in sunny California)
