Thanks, Wietse. The "vanilla" install of Postfix 2.3.3 on CentOS 5 via yum does indeed include an /etc/postfix/makedefs.out file. For the benefit of anyone else looking for this info in the archives, the AUXLIBS and CCARGS for that CentOS version are: AUXLIBS=' -L/usr/lib -lldap -llber -lpcre -L/usr/lib/sasl2 -lsasl2 -L/usr/kerberos/lib -lssl -lcrypto -ldl -lz -pie -Wl,-z,relro' CCARGS='-fPIC -DHAS_LDAP -DLDAP_DEPRECATED=1 -DHAS_PCRE -I/usr/include/pcre -DUSE_SASL_AUTH -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL -I/usr/include/sasl -DUSE_TLS -I/usr/kerberos/include ' The 2.3.3 makedefs.out file contains the AUXLIBS "-pie -Wl,-z,relro" and a CCARGS of "-fPIC". Google finds lots of references to these options in example spec files, but nothing seems to explain what they are. What are they, and have they been deprecated in 2.7.2? Thanks, Steve
