>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
None
>Environment:

	FreeBSD 2.2.2 using sendmail versions >= 8.8.5 (possibly others)

>Description:

	The newer versions of sendmail contain code which allows the
	configuration file to be reread when a SIGHUP is sent to the
	sendmail process.  This will only work if sendmail is invoked
	with the full pathname.  The file /etc/rc does not invoke sendmail
	this way.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Boot system with sendmail enabled.  Note /var/log/maillog message
	regarding the manner in which sendmail was invoked.

>Fix:
	
	Correct /etc/rc to invoke sendmail with the full pathname,
	in this case /usr/sbin/sendmail.

 Duplicate for PR # 3617.
 
 Both can be closed since the problem has been fixed by
 
 revision 1.123

 Use full path to sendmail for security reasons.
 Submitted by:   Ollivier Robert <roberto@keltia.freenix.fr>
 
 revision 1.104.2.15
 date: 1997/05/18 13:18:02;  author: peter;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -2
 Sendmail needs a full pathname or 'kill -HUP' fails.
 
 Submitted by:  Jian-Da Li <jdli@csie.nctu.edu.tw>
 
 Both Peter and Ollivier forgot to close PR 3617.

 Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
