- Three versions of sendmail are provided with RISC/os, sendmail.named,
- sendmail.nonamed and sendmail.nis. By default, sendmail is linked
- to sendmail.named.
-
- To use NIS, link /usr/lib/sendmail to /usr/lib/sendmail.nis, and configure
- /etc/vis.conf to resolve hostnames using 'nis'. As root, issue the commands
- # cd /usr/lib
- # rm sendmail
- # ln sendmail.nis sendmail
-
- and put the following entry in /etc/vis.conf
-
- hosts: files nis
-
- If mail aliases are expected to be resolved via NIS with a MIPS system
- acting as the server, you must link sendmail to sendmail.nis prior to
- building the NIS maps with ypinit.
-
- See the online Release Notes (/usr/pkg/rn/RISCos-4.52) for more information.
