I have been porting the 5.61 release of sendmail to ISC 2.0.2 and have it mostly working. I also have the patches from uunet to the source that lets sendmail do pathalias type lookup's itself, thus eliminating the need for smail altogether (no I don't want to hear about smail 3.x since its been in beta since I don't know when :-}). Anyway, I have one real odd problem and I was hoping someone from Interactive who had done the 5.51 work would have an immediate solution. The problem is that the frozen configuration file that it writes seems bad. What I mean is that when sendmail starts it does a stab to find the local and prog mailers and the stab fails. It is not a problem with stab itself since I put in some debugging and when it starts up with the non-frozen file it successfully does the stab both with the ST_ENTER constant and then finds it again using ST_FIND. I am quite baffled, since about all that remains is the write of the BSS out to a file and the error detection code seems fine. Can someone at ISC enlighten me, or anyone else for that matter who might have some insight on this problem? Of course it runs without the frozen file (that's how it is working at the moment) but I've gotta solve this problem!! Disclaimer: Naturally, I speak for myself not LCC -- Jack F.
