>Description:
Since the sendmail.cf-building files are under
/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf, it is necessary to have the
sources installed to configure sendmail. This seems wrong.
>How-To-Repeat:
On a system without sources installed, try to make a custom
sendmail.cf.
>Fix:
BSD/OS apparently moved the files under /usr/share somewhere,
which seems like a good idea. We should probably choose the
identical location, for consistency. I don't know exctly where
that is, offhand, since the only BSD/OS machine I had access to
was at our now-defunct previous ISP.
