\
Q: I get the message
\b dbm: database not found
\b0 from the
\b nu
\b0 command, and sometimes from
\b sendmail
\b0 . Why? What's wrong?\
\
A: This error — rather benign, actually — is caused by a lack of the
\b aliases.dir
\b0 and
\b aliases.pag
\b0 files. These are part of the “dbm” database system used by
\b sendmail's
\b0 alias management system. In this case,
\b sendmail
\b0 is issuing this warning, indicating that the database hasn't been built properly.\
\
To build the database and eliminate the warning, simply run
\b newaliases
\b0 .\
\
In 1.0 and 1.0a, the
\b aliases.dir
\b0 and
\b aliases.pag
\b0 files were missing from the release; they are present in the 2.0 release.\
