Hi Gurus,

I am trying to compile sendmail version 8.12.7 with SMTP AUTH. After
reading the documentation.

Contents of devtools/Site/site.config.m4
----------------------------------------
APPENDDEF(`confMAPDEF', `-DLDAPMAP')
APPENDDEF(`confENVDEF', `-DSM_CONF_LDAP_MEMFREE')
APPENDDEF(`confLIBS', `-lldap')

APPENDDEF(`conf_mail_local_ENVDEF', `-DCONTENTLENGTH')
APPENDDEF(`conf_mail_local_ENVDEF', `-DMAILGID=6')


The Build process completed without errors.

The make install process terminated with errors:
------------------------------------------------

The same error happened with all of the different modules regarding sendmail.


If anyone can assist me with this, it will be appreciated. If anyone has
a step by step instructions would be appreciated as well.

I really don't know where I went wrong.

Thanks
Joseph

Checkout for define(`confMANROOT', `/usr/share/man/man') in

Edit it appropriately. Then try again

Hi Gurus,

Prior to compiling a new sendmail I removed the solaris sendmail packages.
After compiling and doing the make install I cannot find my sendmail
binary to start the daemon.

should I reinstall the solaris sendmail package to obtain the binary or
should the new compiled sendmail provide me with that binary and were
would it be located.


thanks
Joseph

Does the path /usr/share/man/cat1/ exist?

Hi All,

I need to configure one of the sun boxes to receive mail. How do I do
this using sendmail . I am having sendmail version 8.11.6 loaded in my
machine with OS Solaris 8. I was successful in configuring this box to
send mail to the exchange server.

Thanks

Hello gurus,

My company just bought me a Sun Blade 150 and I'm configuring NTP under
Solaris 8. I copied the /etc/inet/ntp.client file to /etc/inet/ntp.conf and
added the following information:

# Time server that this client is synching to.
server 172.17.5.202 prefer
# Drift file is necessary, touch the file.
driftfile /etc/inet/ntp.drift

When I go to start the ntp daemon, via "/etc/rc2.d/S74xntpd start", I get
the following messages in my syslog:

Jan 23 14:17:14 ruth ntpdate[22285]: [ID 398266 daemon.notice] waiting 30
seconds before trying again
Jan 23 14:17:44 ruth ntpdate[22285]: [ID 398266 daemon.notice] waiting 60
seconds before trying again
Jan 23 14:18:10 ruth xntpd[22320]: [ID 702911 daemon.notice] xntpd 3-5.93e
Mon Sep 20 15:47:11 PDT 1999 (1)
Jan 23 14:18:11 ruth xntpd[22320]: [ID 301315 daemon.notice] tickadj = 5,
tick = 10000, tvu_maxslew = 495, est. hz = 100
Jan 23 14:18:11 ruth xntpd[22320]: [ID 798731 daemon.notice] using kernel
phase-lock loop 0041

Stopped and restarted the process:

Jan 23 14:19:17 ruth xntpd[22320]: [ID 866926 daemon.notice] xntpd exiting
on signal 15
Jan 23 14:19:35 ruth ntpdate[22380]: [ID 398266 daemon.notice] waiting 30
seconds before trying again
Jan 23 14:20:05 ruth ntpdate[22380]: [ID 398266 daemon.notice] waiting 60
seconds before trying again
Jan 23 14:21:05 ruth ntpdate[22380]: [ID 398266 daemon.notice] waiting 120
seconds before trying again
Jan 23 14:23:05 ruth ntpdate[22380]: [ID 398266 daemon.notice] waiting 240
seconds before trying again
Jan 23 14:27:05 ruth ntpdate[22380]: [ID 398266 daemon.notice] waiting 300
seconds before trying again

On the ntp server side I see the following:

# snoop |grep -i ntp
ruth --> eck NTP client (Thu Jan 23 14:23:05 2003)
eck --> ruth NTP server (Thu Jan 23 14:26:32 2003)
ruth --> eck NTP client (Thu Jan 23 14:23:05 2003)
eck --> ruth NTP server (Thu Jan 23 14:26:32 2003)
ruth --> eck NTP client (Thu Jan 23 14:23:05 2003)
eck --> ruth NTP server (Thu Jan 23 14:26:32 2003)

So the way I'm looking at all this is the NTP server sees the request, but
the NTP client for some reason is not seeing the response. Has anyone had
this problem before and more importantly does anyone know how to fix the
problem?

TIA.

Matthew-

Is there a firewall of some sort involved here?

If so, it might be blocking the return packets. I had that problem, with
about the same symptoms you're seeing, and discovered an option to ntpdate
to get around it, at least under SCO Unix, which is what was in use at that
site.

Whether that same option is available for xntpd, or whether you'd even need
it, I don't know.

Of course, if there's no firewall, "never mind!"
