Hello Neil,
ago@freebee$ . /etc/defaults/rc.conf
ago@freebee$ source_rc_confs
ago@freebee$ echo $sendmail_enable
NO
As you can see /etc/rc.conf is not the problem :)
What happened:
At startup, when the standard daemons get loaded i get a
message from sendmail about "unknown/illegal option t" or
something similar.
I found this very strange, because sendmail is disabled
in /etc/rc.conf.
Trying to find out where/what happened i disabled qmail
by removing the startup script (actually a link) and
commented out the line for qmail in inetd.conf.
I also modified /etc/mail/mailer.conf so it would point
to sendmail.
After this, starting up with the same rc.conf i get
sendmail complaints about aliases/aliases.db.
So sendmail is starting somehow... (and can't find the
aliases.db, which i don't have because i run qmail)
Deciding i had enough of it, i modified the files back
enabled qmail and restarted the system again.
Now the error at startup seems misteriously dissapeared..
I don't get it :(
