Much thanks to Rich Kulawiec who helped me with this until it was solved. My Original question: I'm getting this error in my console window dbm map "access": missing map file /etc/mail/access I have solaris 8, sendmail 8.12.9. I have the access file in /etc/mail but there is nothing in it. What entries does it want in this file and why do I keep getting this error in my console window every few minutes? The Fix: I had the access file in /etc/mail which I created with a touch command but this wasn't the format that sendmail expected. My sendmail.cf expects the contents of access.db to be of format "dbm" because I have this line in my sendmail.cf file Kaccess dbm -T<TMPF> /etc/mail/access So, running this: /usr/sbin/makemap dbm /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access Created the access.db file in /etc/mail of the correct format, "dbm" for sendmail. Some sendmail.cf files could want the "hash" version instead: There may be a line in sendmail.cf that looks like this Kaccess hash -T<TMPF> /etc/mail/access So you would run this command to create the "hash" version of the access.db file. /usr/sbin/makemap hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access Dave Martini LLNL _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Wed Apr 30 11:38:37 2003
