'sendmail,bind'
| I heard rumblings that sendmail and BIND were to be moved out of the base
| system and completely into ports.
|
| Is this true? If so, what's the timeline, and will they be
| backwards-compatible with exisiting installations IE /etc/namedb/*
| /etc/mail/* ?
I didn't 'hear' anything yet but it's sure a good idea.
I am not the one who is gonna do that but I can authoritatively say that
sendmail is sendmail whether from the ports or the base system. Ditto
BIND.
Those ports guys never break things willingly and through my looking
glass, I can see that they will keep the current locations for the config
files.
So I'd expect that sendmail config files will remain in /etc/mail while
BIND will have its file in /etc/namedb.
That's already backwards compatibility, no??
