As discussed earlier in the mailing list, I've committed what will hopefully be the final round of sendmail startup changes:
------- start of forwarded message (RFC 934 encapsulation) ------- From: Gregory Neil Shapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: cvs commit: src/etc rc src/etc/defaults rc.conf src/etc/mail Makefile src/etc/sendmail Makefile rc.sendmail src/share/man/man5 rc.conf.5 src/share/man/man8 Makefile rc.sendmail.8 Date: Thu, 4 Apr 2002 18:30:49 -0800 (PST) gshapiro 2002/04/04 18:30:49 PST Modified files: etc rc etc/defaults rc.conf etc/mail Makefile etc/sendmail Makefile share/man/man5 rc.conf.5 share/man/man8 Makefile Added files: etc/sendmail rc.sendmail share/man/man8 rc.sendmail.8 Log: Quoting Peter Wemm, "At great personal risk, touch the sendmail startup again." As an alternative to sendmail_enable=NONE, solve the boot time problem for non-sendmail users completely by moving all of the sendmail startup code from /etc/rc to /etc/rc.sendmail. The source for that script will be kept in src/etc/sendmail/rc.sendmail so make.conf's NO_SENDMAIL will prevent it from being installed. A new rc.conf variable, mta_start_script specifies the script to run to start the user's preferred MTA. For backward compatibility, it will default to /etc/rc.sendmail. The specified script is called out of /etc/rc after checking to make sure it exists. A new rc.sendmail.8 man page has also been added which now houses the sendmail_* variable descriptions formerly in rc.conf.5. Use /etc/rc.sendmail in /etc/mail/Makefile to reduce code duplication.
