DO NOT USE MAKE !! to compile sendmail -- instead, use the 18********************* "makesendmail" script located in the src 19directory. It will find an appropriate Makefile, and create an 20appropriate obj.* subdirectory so that multiplatform support 21works easily. 22 23The Makefile is for the new (4.4BSD) Berkeley make and uses syntax 24that is not recognized by older makes. It also has assumptions 25about the 4.4 file system layout built in. See below for details 26about other Makefiles. 27 28If you are porting to a new architecture for which there is no existing 29Makefile, you might start with Makefile.dist. This works on the old 30traditional make, but isn't customized for any particular architecture. 31 32 ************************************************** 33 ** Read below for more details of Makefiles. ** 34 ************************************************** 35 36************************************************************************** 37** IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE OPTIMIZATION (``-O'') IF YOU ARE RUNNING ** 38** GCC 2.4.x or 2.5.x. THERE IS A BUG IN THE GCC OPTIMIZER THAT ** 39** CAUSES SENDMAIL COMPILES TO FAIL MISERABLY. ** 40************************************************************************** 41 42Jim Wilson of Cygnus believes he has found the problem -- it will 43probably be fixed in GCC 2.5.6 -- but until this is verified, be 44very suspicious of gcc -O. 45 46This problem is reported to have been fixed in gcc 2.6. 47 48************************************************************************** 49** IMPORTANT: Read the appropriate paragraphs in the section on ** 50** ``Operating System and Compile Quirks''. ** 51************************************************************************** 52 53 54+-----------+ 55| MAKEFILES | 56+-----------+ 57 58By far, the easiest way to compile sendmail is to use the "makesendmail" 59script: 60 61 sh makesendmail 62 63This uses the "uname" command to figure out what architecture you are 64on and selects a proper Makefile accordingly. It also creates a 65subdirectory per object format, so that multiarchitecture support is 66easy. In general this should be all you need. However, if for some 67reason this doesn't work (e.g., NeXT systems don't have the "uname" 68command) you may have to set up your compile environment by hand. 69 70The "Makefile"s in these directories are from 4.4 BSD, and hence 71really only work properly if you are on a 4.4 system. In particular, 72they use new syntax that will not be recognized on old make programs, 73and some of them do things like ``.include ../../Makefile.inc'' to 74pick up some system defines. If you are getting sendmail separately, 75these files won't be included in the distribution, as they are 76outside of the sendmail tree. 77 78Instead, you should use one of the other Makefiles, such as 79Makefile.SunOS for a SunOS system, and so forth. These should 80work with the version of make that is appropriate for that 81system. All other Makefiles are in the "src/Makefiles" subdirectory. 82They use the version of make that is native for that system. These 83are the Makefiles that I use, and they have "Berkeley quirks" in them. 84I can't guarantee that they will work unmodified in your environment. 85In particular, Many of them include -I/usr/sww/include/db and 86-L/usr/sww/lib -- these are Berkeley's locations in the ``Software 87Warehouse'' for the new database libraries, described below. You don't 88have to remove these definitions if you don't have these directories, 89but you may have to remove -DNEWDB from the DBMDEF definition. 90 91Please look for an appropriate Makefile before you start trying to 92compile with Makefile or Makefile.dist. 93 94If you want to port the new Berkeley make, you can get it from 95ftp.uu.net in the directory /systems/unix/bsd-sources/usr.bin/make. 96Diffs and instructions for building this version of make under 97SunOS 4.1.x are available on ftp.css.itd.umich.edu in 98/pub/systems/sun/Net2-make.sun4.diff.Z. Diffs and instructions 99for building this version of make under IBM AIX 3.2.4 are available 100on ftp.uni-stuttgart.de in /sw/src/patches/bsd-make-rus-patches. 101For Ultrix, try ftp.vix.com:~ftp/pub/patches/pmake-for-ultrix.Z. 102Paul Southworth <pauls@umich.edu> published a description of porting 103this make in comp.unix.bsd. 104 105The complete text of the Makefile.inc that is in the parent of the 106sendmail directory is: 107 108 # @(#)Makefile.inc 8.1 (Berkeley) 6/6/93 109 110 BINDIR?= /usr/sbin 111 112 113+----------------------+ 114| DATABASE DEFINITIONS | 115+----------------------+ 116 117There are several database formats that can be used for the alias files 118and for general maps. When used for alias files they interact in an 119attempt to be back compatible. 120 121The three options are NEWDB (the new Berkeley DB package), NDBM (the 122older DBM implementation -- the very old V7 implementation is no 123longer supported), and NIS (Network Information Services). Used alone 124these just include the support they indicate. [If you are using NEWDB, 125get the latest version from FTP.CS.Berkeley.EDU in /ucb/4bsd/db.tar.Z 126(or db.tar.gz). DO NOT use the version from the Net2 distribution! 127However, if you are on BSD/386 or 386BSD-based systems, use the one 128that already exists on your system. You may need to #define OLD_NEWDB 1291 to do this.] 130 131[NOTE WELL: it is CRITICAL that you remove ndbm.o from libdb.a and 132ndbm.h from the appropriate include directories if you want to get 133ndbm support. These files OVERRIDE calls to ndbm routines -- in 134particular, if you leave ndbm.h in, you can find yourself using 135the new db package even if you don't define NEWDB.] 136 137If NEWDB and NDBM are defined (but not NIS), then sendmail will read 138NDBM format alias files, but the next time a newaliases is run the 139format will be converted to NEWDB; that format will be used forever 140more. This is intended as a transition feature. [Note however that 141the NEWDB library also catches and maps NDBM calls; you will have to 142back out this feature to get this to work. See ``Quirks'' section 143below for details.] 144 145If all three are defined and the name of the file includes the string 146"/yp/", sendmail will rebuild BOTH the NEWDB and NDBM format alias 147files. However, it will only read the NEWDB file; the NDBM format file 148is used only by the NIS subsystem. 149 150If NDBM and NIS are defined (regardless of the definition of NEWDB), 151and the filename includes the string "/yp/", sendmail adds the special 152tokens "YP_LAST_MODIFIED" and "YP_MASTER_NAME", both of which are 153required if the NDBM file is to be used as an NIS map. 154 155There is also preliminary support for NIS+ (-DNISPLUS), Hesiod 156(-DHESIOD), and NetInfo (-DNETINFO). These have not been well 157tested. 158 159All of -DNEWDB, -DNDBM, -DNIS, -DNISPLUS, -DHESIOD, and -DNETINFO are 160normally defined in the DBMDEF line in the Makefile. 161 162 163+---------------+ 164| COMPILE FLAGS | 165+---------------+ 166 167Whereever possible, I try to make sendmail pull in the correct 168compilation options needed to compile on various environments based on 169automatically defined symbols. Some machines don't seem to have useful 170symbols availble, requiring the following compilation flags in the 171Makefile: 172 173SOLARIS Define this if you are running Solaris 2.0 or higher. 174SOLARIS_2_3 Define this if you are running Solaris 2.3 or higher. 175SUNOS403 Define this if you are running SunOS 4.0.3. 176NeXT Define this if you are on a NeXT box. (This one may 177 be pre-defined for you.) There are other hacks you 178 have to make -- see below. 179_AIX3 Define this if you are IBM AIX 3.x. 180RISCOS Define this if you are running RISC/os from MIPS. 181IRIX Define this if you are running IRIX from SGI. 182_SCO_unix_ Define this if you are on SCO UNIX. 183_SCO_unix_4_2 Define this if you are on SCO Open Server 3.2v4. 184DGUX Define this if you are on DG/UX 5.4.3 or later 185DGUX_5_4_2 Define this if you are on DG/UX systems prior to 5.4.3. 186NonStop_UX_BXX Define this if you are on a Tandem NonStop-UX release 187 Bxx system. 188IRIX64 Define this if you are on an IRIX64 system. 189 190If you are a system that sendmail has already been ported to, you 191probably won't have to touch these. But if you are porting, you may 192have to tweak the following compilation flags in conf.h in order to 193get it to compile and link properly: 194 195SYSTEM5 Adjust for System V (not necessarily Release 4). 196SYS5SIGNALS Use System V signal semantics -- the signal handler 197 is automatically dropped when the signal is caught. 198 If this is not set, use POSIX/BSD semantics, where the 199 signal handler stays in force until an exec or an 200 explicit delete. Implied by SYSTEM5. 201SYS5SETPGRP Use System V setpgrp() semantics. Implied by SYSTEM5. 202HASFLOCK Set this if you prefer to use the flock(2) system call 203 rather than using fcntl-based locking. Fcntl locking 204 has some semantic gotchas, but many vendor systems 205 also interface it to lockd(8) to do NFS-style locking. 206 For this reason, this should not be set unless you 207 don't have an alternative. 208HASUNAME Set if you have the "uname" system call. Implied by 209 SYSTEM5. 210HASUNSETENV Define this if your system library has the "unsetenv" 211 subroutine. 212HASSETSID Define this if you have the setsid(2) system call. This 213 is implied if your system appears to be POSIX compliant. 214HASINITGROUPS Define this if you have the initgroups(3) routine. 215HASSETVBUF Define this if you have the setvbuf(3) library call. 216 If you don't, setlinebuf will be used instead. This 217 defaults on if your compiler defines __STDC__. 218HASSETREUID Define this if you have setreuid(2) ***AND*** root can 219 use setreuid to change to an arbitrary user. This second 220 condition is not satisfied on AIX 3.x. You may find that 221 your system has setresuid(2), (for example, on HP-UX) in 222 which case you will also have to #define setreuid(r, e) 223 to be the appropriate call. Some systems (such as Solaris) 224 have a compatibility routine that doesn't work properly, 225 but may have "saved user ids" properly implemented so you 226 can ``#define setreuid(r, e) seteuid(e)'' and have it work. 227 The important thing is that you have a call that will set 228 the effective uid independently of the real or saved uid 229 and be able to set the effective uid back again when done. 230 There's a test program in ../test/t_setreuid.c that will 231 try things on your system. Setting this improves the 232 security, since sendmail doesn't have to read .forward 233 and :include: files as root. There are certain attacks 234 that may be unpreventable without this call. 235USESETEUID Define this to 1 if you have seteuid(2) if you have a seteuid 236 system call that will allow root to set only the effective 237 user id to an arbitrary value ***AND*** you have saved user 238 ids. This is preferable to HASSETREUID if these conditions 239 are fulfilled. These are the semantics of the to-be-released 240 revision of Posix.1. The test program ../test/t_seteuid.c 241 will try this out on your system. If you define both 242 HASSETREUID and USESETEUID, the former is ignored. 243HASLSTAT Define this if you have symbolic links (and thus the 244 lstat(2) system call). This improves security. Unlike 245 most other options, this one is on by default, so you 246 need to #undef it in conf.h if you don't have symbolic 247 links (these days everyone does). 248HASSETRLIMIT Define this to 1 if you have the setrlimit(2) syscall. 249 You can define it to 0 to force it off. It is assumed 250 if you are running a BSD-like system. 251HASULIMIT Define this if you have the ulimit(2) syscall (System V 252 style systems). HASSETRLIMIT overrides, as it is more 253 general. 254NEEDGETOPT Define this if you need a reimplementation of getopt(3). 255 On some systems, getopt does very odd things if called 256 to scan the arguments twice. This flag will ask sendmail 257 to compile in a local version of getopt that works 258 properly. 259NEEDSTRTOL Define this if your standard C library does not define 260 strtol(3). This will compile in a local version. 261NEEDVPRINTF Define this if your standard C library does not define 262 vprintf(3). Note that the resulting fake implementation 263 is not very elegant and may not even work on some 264 architectures. 265NEEDFSYNC Define this if your standard C library does not define 266 fsync(2). This will try to simulate the operation using 267 fcntl(2); if that is not available it does nothing, which 268 isn't great, but at least it compiles and runs. 269HASGETUSERSHELL Define this to 1 if you have getusershell(3) in your 270 standard C library. If this is not defined, or is defined 271 to be 0, sendmail will scan the /etc/shells file (no 272 NIS-style support, defaults to /bin/sh and /bin/csh if 273 that file does not exist) to get a list of unrestricted 274 user shells. This is used to determine whether users 275 are allowed to forward their mail to a program or a file. 276NEEDPUTENV Define this if your system needs am emulation of the 277 putenv(3) call. Define to 1 to implement it in terms 278 of setenv(3) or to 2 to do it in terms of primitives. 279GIDSET_T The type of entries in a gidset passed as the second 280 argument to getgroups(2). Historically this has been an 281 int, so this is the default, but some systems (such as 282 IRIX) pass it as a gid_t, which is an unsigned short. 283 This will make a difference, so it is important to get 284 this right! However, it is only an issue if you have 285 group sets. 286SLEEP_T The type returned by the system sleep() function. 287 Defaults to "unsigned int". Don't worry about this 288 if you don't have compilation problems. 289ARBPTR_T The type of an arbitrary pointer -- defaults to "void *". 290 If you are an very old compiler you may need to define 291 this to be "char *". 292LA_TYPE The type of load average your kernel supports. These 293 can be one of: 294 LA_ZERO (1) -- it always returns the load average as 295 "zero" (and does so on all architectures). 296 LA_INT (2) to read /dev/kmem for the symbol avenrun and 297 interpret as a long integer. 298 LA_FLOAT (3) same, but interpret the result as a floating 299 point number. 300 LA_SHORT (6) to interpret as a short integer. 301 LA_SUBR (4) if you have the getloadavg(3) routine in your 302 system library. 303 LA_MACH (5) to use MACH-style load averages (calls 304 processor_set_info()), 305 LA_PROCSTR (7) to read /proc/loadavg and interpret it 306 as a string representing a floating-point 307 number (Linux-style). 308 LA_READKSYM (8) is an implementation suitable for some 309 versions of SVr4 that uses the MIOC_READKSYM ioctl 310 call to read /dev/kmem. 311 LA_DGUX (9) is a special implementation for DG/UX that uses 312 the dg_sys_info system call. 313 LA_HPUX (10) is an HP-UX specific version that uses the 314 pstat_getdynamic system call. 315 LA_INT, LA_SHORT, LA_FLOAT, and LA_READKSYM have several 316 other parameters that they try to divine: the name of your 317 kernel, the name of the variable in the kernel to examine, 318 the number of bits of precision in a fixed point load average, 319 and so forth. 320 In desperation, use LA_ZERO. The actual code is in 321 conf.c -- it can be tweaked if you are brave. 322FSHIFT For LA_INT, LA_SHORT, and LA_READKSYM, this is the number 323 of bits of load average after the binary point -- i.e., 324 the number of bits to shift right in order to scale the 325 integer to get the true integer load average. Defaults to 8. 326_PATH_UNIX The path to your kernel. Needed only for LA_INT, LA_SHORT, 327 and LA_FLOAT. Defaults to "/unix" on System V, "/vmunix" 328 everywhere else. 329LA_AVENRUN For LA_INT, LA_SHORT, and LA_FLOAT, the name of the kernel 330 variable that holds the load average. Defaults to "avenrun" 331 on System V, "_avenrun" everywhere else. 332SFS_TYPE Encodes how your kernel can locate the amount of free 333 space on a disk partition. This can be set to SFS_NONE 334 (0) if you have no way of getting this information, 335 SFS_USTAT (1) if you have the ustat(2) system call, 336 SFS_4ARGS (2) if you have a four-argument statfs(2) 337 system call (and the include file is <sys/statfs.h>), 338 SFS_VFS (3), SFS_MOUNT (4), SFS_STATFS (5) if you have 339 the two-argument statfs(2) system call with includes in 340 <sys/vfs.h>, <sys/mount.h>, or <sys/statfs.h> respectively, 341 or SFS_STATVFS (6) if you have the two-argument statvfs(2) 342 call. The default if nothing is defined is SFS_NONE. 343SFS_BAVAIL with SFS_4ARGS hou can also set SFS_BAVAIL to the field name 344 in the statfs structure that holds the useful information; 345 this defaults to f_bavail. 346SPT_TYPE Encodes how your system can display what a process is doing 347 on a ps(1) command (SPT stands for Set Process Title). Can 348 be set to: 349 SPT_NONE (0) -- Don't try to set the process title at all. 350 SPT_REUSEARGV (1) -- Pad out your argv with the information; 351 this is the default if none specified. 352 SPT_BUILTIN (2) -- The system library has setproctitle. 353 SPT_PSTAT (3) -- Use the PSTAT_SETCMD option to pstat(2) 354 to set the process title; this is used by HP-UX. 355 SPT_PSSTRINGS (4) -- Use the magic PS_STRINGS pointer (4.4BSD). 356SPT_PADCHAR Character used to pad the process title; if undefined, 357 the space character (0x20) is used. This is ignored if 358 SPT_TYPE != SPT_REUSEARGV 359ERRLIST_PREDEFINED 360 If set, assumes that some header file defines sys_errlist. 361 This may be needed if you get type conflicts on this 362 variable -- otherwise don't worry about it. 363WAITUNION The wait(2) routine takes a "union wait" argument instead 364 of an integer argument. This is for compatibility with 365 old versions of BSD. 366SCANF You can set this to extend the F command to accept a 367 scanf string -- this gives you a primitive parser for 368 class definitions -- BUT it can make you vulnerable to 369 core dumps if the target file is poorly formed. 370SYSLOG_BUFSIZE You can define this to be the size of the buffer that 371 syslog accepts. If it is not defined, it assumes a 372 1024-byte buffer. If the buffer is very small (under 373 256 bytes) the log message format changes -- each 374 e-mail message will log many more messages, since it 375 will log each piece of information as a separate line 376 in syslog. 377BROKEN_RES_SEARCH 378 On Ultrix (and maybe other systems?) if you use the 379 res_search routine with an unknown host name, it returns 380 -1 but sets h_errno to 0 instead of HOST_NOT_FOUND. If 381 you set this, sendmail considers 0 to be the same as 382 HOST_NOT_FOUND. 383NAMELISTMASK If defined, values returned by nlist(3) are masked 384 against this value before use -- a common value is 385 0x7fffffff to strip off the top bit. 386BSD4_4_SOCKADDR If defined, socket addresses have an sa_len field that 387 defines the length of this address. 388 389 390 391+-----------------------+ 392| COMPILE-TIME FEATURES | 393+-----------------------+ 394 395There are a bunch of features that you can decide to compile in, such 396as selecting various database packages and special protocol support. 397Several are assumed based on other compilation flags -- if you want to 398"un-assume" something, you probably need to edit conf.h. Compilation 399flags that add support for special features include: 400 401NDBM Include support for "new" DBM library for aliases and maps. 402 Normally defined in the Makefile. 403NEWDB Include support for Berkeley "db" package (hash & btree) 404 for aliases and maps. Normally defined in the Makefile. 405OLD_NEWDB If non-zero, the version of NEWDB you have is the old 406 one that does not include the "fd" call. This call was 407 added in version 1.5 of the Berkeley DB code. If you 408 use -DOLD_NEWDB=0 it forces you to use the new interface. 409NIS Define this to get NIS (YP) support for aliases and maps. 410 Normally defined in the Makefile. 411NISPLUS Define this to get NIS+ support for aliases and maps. 412 Normally defined in the Makefile. 413HESIOD Define this to get Hesiod support for aliases and maps. 414 Normally defined in the Makefile. 415NETINFO Define this to get NeXT NetInfo support for aliases and maps. 416 Normally defined in the Makefile. 417USERDB Define this to 1 to include support for the User Information 418 Database. Implied by NEWDB or HESIOD. You can use 419 -DUSERDB=0 to explicitly turn it off. 420IDENTPROTO Define this as 1 to get IDENT (RFC 1413) protocol support. 421 This is assumed unless you are running on Ultrix or 422 HP-UX, both of which have a problem in the UDP 423 implementation. You can define it to be 0 to explicitly 424 turn off IDENT protocol support. If defined off, the code 425 is actually still compiled in, but it defaults off; you 426 can turn it on by setting the IDENT timeout to 30s in the 427 configuration file. 428IP_SRCROUTE Define this to 1 to get IP source routing information 429 displayed in the Received: header. This is assumed on 430 most systems, but some (e.g., Ultrix) apparently have a 431 broken version of getsockopt that doesn't properly 432 support the IP_OPTIONS call. You probably want this if 433 your OS can cope with it. Symptoms of failure will be that 434 it won't compile properly (that is, no support for fetching 435 IP_OPTIONs), or it compiles but source-routed TCP connections 436 either refuse to open or open and hang for no apparent reason. 437 Ultrix and AIX are known to fail this way. 438LOG Set this to get syslog(3) support. Defined by default 439 in conf.h. You want this if at all possible. 440NETINET Set this to get TCP/IP support. Defined by default 441 in conf.h. You probably want this. 442NETISO Define this to get ISO networking support. 443SMTP Define this to get the SMTP code. Implied by NETINET 444 or NETISO. 445NAMED_BIND If non-zero, include DNS (name daemon) support, including 446 MX support. The specs you must use this if you run 447 SMTP. Defined by default in conf.h. 448QUEUE Define this to get queueing code. Implied by NETINET 449 or NETISO; required by SMTP. This gives you other good 450 stuff -- it should be on. 451DAEMON Define this to get general network support. Implied by 452 NETINET or NETISO. Defined by default in conf.h. You 453 almost certainly want it on. 454MATCHGECOS Permit fuzzy matching of user names against the full 455 name (GECOS) field in the /etc/passwd file. This should 456 probably be on, since you can disable it from the config 457 file if you want to. Defined by default in conf.h. 458MIME8TO7 If non-zero, include 8 to 7 bit MIME conversions. This 459 also controls advertisement of 8BITMIME in the ESMTP 460 startup dialogue. 461MIME7TO8 If non-zero, include 7 to 8 bit MIME conversions. Not yet 462 implemented. 463 464 465+---------------------+ 466| DNS/RESOLVER ISSUES | 467+---------------------+ 468 469Many systems have old versions of the resolver library. At a minimum, 470you should be running BIND 4.8.3; older versions may compile, but they 471have known bugs that should give you pause. 472 473Common problems in old versions include "undefined" errors for 474dn_skipname. 475 476Some people have had a problem with BIND 4.9; it uses some routines 477that it expects to be externally defined such as strerror(). It may 478help to link with "-l44bsd" to solve this problem. 479 480!PLEASE! be sure to link with the same version of the resolver as 481the header files you used -- some people have used the 4.9 headers 482and linked with BIND 4.8 or vice versa, and it doesn't work. 483Unfortunately, it doesn't fail in an obvious way -- things just 484subtly don't work. 485 486 487+-------------------------------------+ 488| OPERATING SYSTEM AND COMPILE QUIRKS | 489+-------------------------------------+ 490 491GCC 2.5.x problems *** IMPORTANT *** 492 Date: Mon, 29 Nov 93 19:08:44 PST 493 From: wilson@cygnus.com (Jim Wilson) 494 Message-Id: <9311300308.AA04608@cygnus.com> 495 To: kenner@vlsi1.ultra.nyu.edu 496 Subject: [cattelan@thebarn.com: gcc 2.5.4-2.5.5 -O bug] 497 Cc: cattelan@thebarn.com, rms@gnu.ai.mit.edu, sendmail@cs.berkeley.edu 498 499 This fixes a problem that occurs when gcc 2.5.5 is used to compile 500 sendmail 8.6.4 with optimization on a sparc. 501 502 Mon Nov 29 19:00:14 1993 Jim Wilson (wilson@sphagnum.cygnus.com) 503 504 * reload.c (find_reloads_toplev): Replace obsolete reference to 505 BYTE_LOADS_*_EXTEND with LOAD_EXTEND_OP. 506 507 *** clean-ss-931128/reload.c Sun Nov 14 16:20:01 1993 508 --- ss-931128/reload.c Mon Nov 29 18:52:55 1993 509 *************** find_reloads_toplev (x, opnum, type, ind 510 *** 3888,3894 **** 511 force a reload in that case.

However, beware that 530 this links in a new version of gethostbyname that does not 531 understand NIS, so you must have all of your hosts in DNS. 532 533 Some people have reported problems with the SunOS version of 534 -lresolv and/or in.named, and suggest that you get a newer 535 version. The symptoms are delays when you connect to the 536 SMTP server on a SunOS machine or having your domain added to 537 addresses inappropriately. There is a version of BIND 538 version 4.9 on gatekeeper.DEC.COM in pub/BSD/bind/4.9. 539 540 There is substantial disagreement about whether you can make 541 this work with resolv+, which allows you to specify a search-path 542 of services. Some people report that it works fine, others 543 claim it doesn't work at all (including causing sendmail to 544 drop core when it tries to do multiple resolv+ lookups for a 545 single job). I haven't tried resolv+, as we use DNS exclusively. 546 547 Should you want to try resolv+, it is on ftp.uu.net in 548 /networking/ip/dns. 549 550 Apparently getservbyname() can fail under moderate to high 551 load under some circumstances. This will exhibit itself as 552 the message ``554 makeconnection: service "smtp" unknown''. 553 The problem has been traced to one or more blank lines in 554 /etc/services on the NIS server machine. Delete these 555 and it should work. This info is thanks to Brian Bartholomew 556 <bb@math.ufl.edu> of I-Kinetics, Inc. 557 558Solaris 2.x (SunOS 5.x) 559 To compile for Solaris, be sure you use -DSOLARIS. 560 561 To the best of my knowledge, Solaris does not have the 562 gethostbyname problem described above. However, it does 563 have another one: 564 565 From a correspondent: 566 567 For solaris 2.2, I have 568 569 hosts: files dns 570 571 in /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/hosts has to have the fully 572 qualified host name. I think "files" has to be before "dns" 573 in /etc/nsswitch.conf during bootup. 574 575 From another correspondent: 576 577 When running sendmail under Solaris, the gethostbyname() 578 hack in conf.c which should perform proper canonicalization 579 of host names could fail. Result: the host name is not 580 canonicalized despite the hack, and you'll have to define $j 581 and $m in sendmail.cf somewhere. 582 583 The reason could be that /etc/nsswitch.conf is improperly 584 configured (at least from sendmail's point of view). For 585 example, the line 586 587 hosts: files nisplus dns 588 589 will make gethostbyname() look in /etc/hosts first, then ask 590 nisplus, then dns. However, if /etc/hosts does not contain 591 the full canonicalized hostname, then no amount of 592 gethostbyname()s will work. 593 594 Solution (or rather, a workaround): Ask nisplus first, then 595 dns, then local files: 596 597 hosts: nisplus dns [NOTFOUND=return] files 598 599 The Solaris "syslog" function is apparently limited to something 600 about 90 characters because of a kernel limitation. If you have 601 source code, you can probably up this number.

Here is a short 619 description of the bug. There isn't a bugid yet, nor a patchid 620 (of course). The bug has been reported to SunSoft (Belgium), and a 621 bugid should be created in a few days. 622 623 When a root-setuid dynamically program is executed by a user 624 different from root, then, at run-time, the dynamic libraries are 625 first searched in /usr/lib, then is the contents of LD_RUN_PATH as 626 it was at compilation-time. 627 628 The correct behaviour (as it is in Solaris 2.3) should be to search 629 at run-time first in the contents of LD_RUN_PATH as it was at 630 compilation, then in /usr/lib. 631 632 This bug causes problems with Sendmail if the following particular 633 condition is encountered: you want to link Sendmail (at 634 compilation-time) with BIND's shared libresolv.so library that has 635 been put in /usr/local/lib (for example). 636 637 By default, BIND's shared library is optionnaly merged inside the 638 libc library. But it is possible to build (by hand) a shared 639 library which would be called libresolv.so and put in /usr/local/lib 640 (for example). 641 642 At compilation-time, the linker uses BIND's library, but, at run-time, 643 it uses the original /usr/lib/libresolv.so library (because the name 644 is the same as the one in /usr/local/lib), even if LD_RUN_PATH was 645 containing /usr/local/lib before /usr/lib at compilation-time. 646 647 When Sendmail is called from some mailer (for example, the BSD Mail), 648 it runs uid=user and euid=root and the wrong library is used. 649 Numerous "name server timeouts" or "host not found" errors may occur. 650 651 A quick fix is to link "libresolv" and "lib44bsd" statically, while 652 linking other libraries dynamically. With GCC, this can be done using 653 654 LIBDIRS= -L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib 655 LIBS= -Xlinker -Bstatic -lresolv -l44bsd -Xlinker \ 656 -Bdynamic -lsocket -lnsl -lelf 657 658 in the Makefile.SunOS.5.x. 659 660 I hope this will help other Solaris 2.4 users. 661 662 ******************************************************** 663 * Alain Nissen - Teacher Assistant * 664 _________ * Department of Computer Science (A.I.) * 665 | | | _| | * University of Liege - Institut Montefiore, Bat B28, * 666 | | | | | | * Grande Traverse, 10, B-4000 Liege - Belgium (Europe) * 667 | | | | | | * Phone: (+32)-41-662626 Fax: (+32)-41-662984 * 668 | | |___| | * * 669 | \_____/ | * E-mail: nissen@montefiore.ulg.ac.be * 670 \_________/ * URL: http://www.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~nissen/ * 671 * Finger: nissen@finger.montefiore.ulg.ac.be * 672 ******************************************************** 673 674Ultrix 675 By default, the IDENT protocol is turned off on Ultrix. If you 676 are running Ultrix 4.4 or later, or if you have included patch 677 CXO-8919 for Ultrix 4.2 or 4.3 to fix the TCP problem, you can turn 678 IDENT on in the configuration file by setting the "ident" timeout 679 to 30 seconds. 680 681OSF/1 682 If you are compiling on OSF/1 (DEC Alpha), you must use 683 -L/usr/shlib (otherwise it core dumps on startup). You may also 684 need -mld to get the nlist() function, although some versions 685 apparently don't need this. 686 687 Also, the enclosed makefile removed /usr/sbin/smtpd; if you need 688 it, just create the link to the sendmail binary. 689 690IRIX 691 The header files on SGI IRIX are completely prototyped, and as 692 a result you can sometimes get some warning messages during 693 compilation. These can be ignored. There are two errors in 694 deliver only if you are using gcc, both of the form ``warning: 695 passing arg N of `execve' from incompatible pointer type''. 696 Also, if you compile with -DNIS, you will get a complaint 697 about a declaration of struct dom_binding in a prototype 698 when compiling map.c; this is not important because the 699 function being prototyped is not used in that file. 700 701 In order to compile sendmail you will have had to install 702 the developers' option in order to get the necessary include 703 files. 704 705NeXT 706 If you are compiling on NeXT, you will have to create an empty 707 file "unistd.h" and create a file "dirent.h" containing: 708 709 #include <sys/dir.h> 710 #define dirent direct 711 712 (The Makefile.NeXT should try to do both of these for you.) 713 714 Apparently, there is a bug in getservbyname on Nextstep 3.0 715 that causes it to fail under some circumstances with the 716 message "SYSERR: service "smtp" unknown" logged. You should 717 be able to work around this by including the line: 718 719 OOPort=25 720 721 in your .cf file. 722 723 You may have to use -DNeXT. 724 725BSDI (BSD/386) 1.0, NetBSD 0.9, FreeBSD 1.0 726 The "m4" from BSDI won't handle the config files properly. 727 I haven't had a chance to test this myself. 728 729 The M4 shipped in FreeBSD and NetBSD 0.9 don't handle the config 730 files properly. One must use either GNU m4 1.1 or the PD-M4 731 recently posted in comp.os.386bsd.bugs (and maybe others). 732 NetBSD-current includes the PD-M4 (as stated in the NetBSD file 733 CHANGES). 734 735 FreeBSD 1.0 RELEASE has uname(2) now. Use -DUSEUNAME in order to 736 use it (look into Makefile.FreeBSD). NetBSD-current may have 737 it too but it has not been verified. 738 739 You cannot port the latest version of the Berkeley db library 740 and use it with sendmail without recompiling the world. This 741 is because C library routines use the older version which have 742 incompatible header files -- the result is that it can't read 743 other system files, such as /etc/passwd, unless you use the 744 new db format throughout your system. You should normally just 745 use the version of db supplied in your release. You may need 746 to use -DOLD_NEWDB=1 to make this work -- this turns off some 747 new interface calls (for file locking) that are not in older 748 versions of db. You'll get compile errors if you need this 749 flag and don't have it set. 750 7514.3BSD 752 If you are running a "virgin" version of 4.3BSD, you'll have 753 a very old resolver and be missing some header files. The 754 header files are simple -- create empty versions and everything 755 will work fine. For the resolver you should really port a new 756 version (4.8.3 or later) of the resolver; 4.9 is available on 757 gatekeeper.DEC.COM in pub/BSD/bind/4.9. If you are really 758 determined to continue to use your old, buggy version (or as 759 a shortcut to get sendmail working -- I'm sure you have the 760 best intentions to port a modern version of BIND), you can 761 copy ../contrib/oldbind.compat.c into src and add 762 oldbind.compat.o to OBJADD in the Makefile. 763 764A/UX 765 Date: Tue, 12 Oct 1993 18:28:28 -0400 (EDT) 766 From: "Eric C. Hagberg" <hagberg@med.cornell.edu> 767 Subject: Fix for A/UX ndbm 768 769 I guess this isn't really a sendmail bug, however, it is something 770 that A/UX users should be aware of when compiling sendmail 8.6. 771 772 Apparently, the calls that sendmail is using to the ndbm routines 773 in A/UX 3.0.x contain calls to "broken" routines, in that the 774 aliases database will break when it gets "just a little big" 775 (sorry I don't have exact numbers here, but it broke somewhere 776 around 20-25 aliases for me.), making all aliases non-functional 777 after exceeding this point. 778 779 What I did was to get the gnu-dbm-1.6 package, compile it, and 780 then re-compile sendmail with "-lgdbm", "-DNDBM", and using the 781 ndbm.h header file that comes with the gnu-package. This makes 782 things behave properly. 783 784 I suppose porting the New Berkeley db package is another route, 785 however, I made a quick attempt at it, and found it difficult 786 (not easy at least); the gnu-dbm package "configured" and 787 compiled easily. 788 789SCO Unix 790 From: Thomas Essebier <tom@stallion.oz.au> 791 Organisation: Stallion Technologies Pty Ltd. 792 793 It will probably help those who are trying to configure sendmail 8.6.9 794 to know that if they are on SCO, they had better set 795 OI-dnsrch 796 or they will core dump as soon as they try to use the resolver. 797 ie. although SCO has _res.dnsrch defined, and is kinda BIND 4.8.3, it 798 does not inititialise it, nor does it understand 'search' in 799 /etc/named.boot. 800 - sigh - 801 802DG/UX 803 Doug Anderson <dlander@afterlife.ncsc.mil> has successfully run 804 V8 on the DG/UX 5.4.2 and 5.4R3.x platforms under heavy usage. 805 Originally, the DG /bin/mail program wasn't compatible with 806 the V8 sendmail, since the DG /bin/mail requires the environment 807 variable "_FORCE_MAIL_LOCAL_=yes" be set. Version 8.7 now includes 808 this in the environment before invoking the local mailer. Some 809 have used procmail to avoid this problem in the past. It works 810 but some have experienced file locking problems with their DG/UX 811 ports of procmail. 812 813Apollo DomainOS 814 If you are compiling on Apollo, you will have to create an empty 815 file "unistd.h" and create a file "dirent.h" containing: 816 817 #include <sys/dir.h> 818 #define dirent direct 819 820 (The Makefile.DomainOS will attempt to do both of these for you.) 821 822HP-UX 8.00 823 Date: Mon, 24 Jan 1994 13:25:45 +0200 824 From: Kimmo Suominen <Kimmo.Suominen@lut.fi> 825 Subject: 8.6.5 w/ HP-UX 8.00 on s300 826 827 Just compiled and fought with sendmail 8.6.5 on a HP9000/360 (ie. a 828 series 300 machine) running HP-UX 8.00. 829 830 I was getting segmentation fault when delivering to a local user. 831 With debugging I saw it was faulting when doing _free@libc... *sigh* 832 It seems the new implementation of malloc on s300 is buggy as of 8.0, 833 so I tried out the one in -lmalloc (malloc(3X)). With that it seems 834 to work just dandy. 835 836 When linking, you will get the following error: 837 838 ld: multiply defined symbol _freespace in file /usr/lib/libmalloc.a 839 840 but you can just ignore it. You might want to add this info to the 841 README file for the future... 842 843Linux 844 Something broke between versions 0.99.13 and 0.99.14 of Linux: 845 the flock() system call gives errors. If you are running .14, 846 you must not use flock. You can do this with -DHASFLOCK=0. 847 848 Around the inclusion of bind-4.9.3 & linux libc-4.6.20, the 849 initialization of the _res structure changed. If /etc/hosts.conf 850 was configured as "hosts, bind" the resolver code could return 851 "Name server failure" errors. This is supposedly fixed in 852 later versions of libc (>= 4.6.29?), and later versions of 853 sendmail (> 8.6.10) try to work around the problem. 854 855 Some older versions (< 4.6.20?) of the libc/include files conflict 856 with sendmail's version of cdefs.h. Deleting sendmail's version 857 on those systems should be non-harmful, and new versions don't care. 858 859AIX 860 This version of sendmail does not support MB, MG, and MR resource 861 records, which are supported by AIX sendmail. 862 863RISC/os 864 RISC/os from MIPS is a merged AT&T/Berkeley system. When you 865 compile on that platform you will get duplicate definitions 866 on many files. You can ignore these. 867 868System V Release 4 Based Systems 869 There is a single Makefile that is intended for all SVR4-based 870 systems (called Makefile.SVR4). It defines __svr4__, which is 871 predefined by some compilers. If your compiler already defines 872 this compile variable, you can delete the definition from the 873 Makefile. 874 875 It's been tested on Dell Issue 2.2. 876 877DELL SVR4 878 Date: Mon, 06 Dec 1993 10:42:29 EST 879 From: "Kimmo Suominen" <kim@grendel.lut.fi> 880 Message-ID: <2d0352f9.lento29@lento29.UUCP> 881 To: eric@cs.berkeley.edu 882 Cc: sendmail@cs.berkeley.edu 883 Subject: Notes for DELL SVR4 884 885 Eric, 886 887 Here are some notes for compiling Sendmail 8.6.4 on DELL SVR4. I ran 888 across these things when helping out some people who contacted me by 889 e-mail. 890 891 1) Use gcc 2.4.5 (or later?). Dell distributes gcc 2.1 with their 892 Issue 2.2 Unix. It is too old, and gives you problems with 893 clock.c, because sigset_t won't get defined in <sys/signal.h>. 894 This is due to a problematic protection rule in there, and is 895 fixed with gcc 2.4.5. 896 897 2) If you don't use the new Berkeley DB (-DNEWDB), then you need 898 to add "-lc -lucb" to the libraries to link with. This is because 899 the -ldbm distributed by Dell needs the bcopy, bcmp and bzero 900 functions. It is important that you specify both libraries in 901 the given order to be sure you only get the BSTRING functions 902 from the UCB library (and not the signal routines etc.). 903 904 3) Don't leave out "-lelf" even if compiling with "-lc -lucb". 905 The UCB library also has another copy of the nlist routines, 906 but we do want the ones from "-lelf". 907 908 If anyone needs a compiled gcc 2.4.5 and/or a ported DB library, they 909 can use anonymous ftp to fetch them from lut.fi in the /kim directory. 910 They are copies of what I use on grendel.lut.fi, and offering them 911 does not imply that I would also support them. I have sent the DB 912 port for SVR4 back to Keith Bostic for inclusion in the official 913 distribution, but I haven't heard anything from him as of today. 914 915 - gcc-2.4.5-svr4.tar.gz (gcc 2.4.5 and the corresponding libg++) 916 - db-1.72.tar.gz (with source, objects and a installed copy) 917 918 Cheers 919 + Kim 920 -- 921 * Kimmo.Suominen@lut.fi * SysVr4 enthusiast at GRENDEL.LUT.FI * 922 * KIM@FINFILES.BITNET * Postmaster and Hostmaster at LUT.FI * 923 * + 358 200 865 718 * Unix area moderator at NIC.FUNET.FI * 924 925ConvexOS 10.1 and below 926 In order to use the name server, you must create the file 927 /etc/use_nameserver. If this file does not exist, the call 928 to res_init() will fail and you will have absolutely no 929 access to DNS, including MX records. 930 931Amdahl UTS 2.1.5 932 In order to get UTS to work, you will have to port BIND 4.9. 933 The vendor's BIND is reported to be ``totally inadequate.'' 934 See sendmail/contrib/AmdahlUTS.patch for the patches necessary 935 to get BIND 4.9 compiled for UTS. 936 937UnixWare 2.0 938 According to Alexander Kolbasov <sasha@unitech.gamma.ru>, 939 the m4 on UnixWare 2.0 (still in Beta) will core dump on the 940 config files. GNU m4 and the m4 from UnixWare 1.x both work. 941 942Non-DNS based sites 943 This version of sendmail always tries to connect to the Domain 944 Name System (DNS) to resolve names, regardless of the setting 945 of the `I' option. On most systems that are not running DNS, 946 this will fail quickly and sendmail will continue, but on some 947 systems it has a long timeout. If you have this problem, you 948 will have to recompile without NAMED_BIND. Some people have 949 claimed that they have successfully used "OI+USEVC" to force 950 sendmail to use a virtual circuit -- this will always time out 951 quickly, but also tells sendmail that a failed connection 952 should requeue the message (probably not what you intended). 953 A future release of sendmail will correct this problem. 954 955Both NEWDB and NDBM 956 If you use both -DNDBM and -DNEWDB, you must delete the module 957 ndbm.o from libdb.a and delete the file "ndbm.h" from the files 958 that get installed (that is, use the OLD ndbm.h, not the new 959 ndbm.h). This compatibility module maps ndbm calls into DB 960 calls, and breaks things rather badly. 961 962GNU getopt 963 I'm told that GNU getopt has a problem in that it gets confused 964 by the double call. Use the version in conf.c instead. 965 966BIND 4.9.2 and Ultrix 967 If you are running on Ultrix, be sure you read conf/Info.Ultrix 968 in the BIND distribution very carefully -- there is information 969 in there that you need to know in order to avoid errors of the 970 form: 971 972 /lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): sethostent: multiply defined 973 /lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): endhostent: multiply defined 974 /lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): gethostbyname: multiply defined 975 /lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): gethostbyaddr: multiply defined 976 977 during the link stage. 978 979strtoul 980 Some compilers (notably gcc) claim to be ANSI C but do not 981 include the ANSI-required routine "strtoul". If your compiler 982 has this problem, you will get an error in srvrsmtp.c on the 983 code: 984 985 # ifdef defined(__STDC__) && !defined(BROKEN_ANSI_LIBRARY) 986 e->e_msgsize = strtoul(vp, (char **) NULL, 10); 987 # else 988 e->e_msgsize = strtol(vp, (char **) NULL, 10); 989 # endif 990 991 You can use -DBROKEN_ANSI_LIBRARY to get around this problem. 992 993 994+--------------+ 995| MANUAL PAGES | 996+--------------+ 997 998The manual pages have been written against the -mandoc macros 999instead of the -man macros. The latest version of groff has them 1000included.

The 1010information dumped is: 1011 1012 * The value of the $j macro. 1013 * A warning if $j is not in the set $=w. 1014 * A list of the open file descriptors. 1015 * The contents of the connection cache. 1016 * If ruleset 89 is defined, it is evaluated and the results printed. 1017 1018This allows you to get information regarding the runtime state of the 1019daemon on the fly. This should not be done too frequently, since 1020the process of rewriting may lose memory which will not be recovered. 1021Also, ruleset 89 may call non-reentrant routines, so there is a small 1022non-zero probability that this will cause other problems. It is 1023really only for debugging serious problems. 1024 1025A typical formulation of ruleset 89 would be: 1026 1027 R$* $@ $>0 some test address 1028 1029 1030+-----------------------------+ 1031| DESCRIPTION OF SOURCE FILES | 1032+-----------------------------+ 1033 1034The following list describes the files in this directory: 1035 1036Makefile The makefile used here; this version only works with 1037 the new Berkeley make. 1038Makefile.dist A trimmed down version of the makefile that works with 1039 the old make. 1040READ_ME This file. 1041TRACEFLAGS My own personal list of the trace flags -- not guaranteed 1042 to be particularly up to date. 1043alias.c Does name aliasing in all forms. 1044arpadate.c A subroutine which creates ARPANET standard dates. 1045clock.c Routines to implement real-time oriented functions 1046 in sendmail -- e.g., timeouts. 1047collect.c The routine that actually reads the mail into a temp 1048 file. It also does a certain amount of parsing of 1049 the header, etc. 1050conf.c The configuration file. This contains information 1051 that is presumed to be quite static and non- 1052 controversial, or code compiled in for efficiency 1053 reasons. Most of the configuration is in sendmail.cf. 1054conf.h Configuration that must be known everywhere. 1055convtime.c A routine to sanely process times. 1056daemon.c Routines to implement daemon mode. This version is 1057 specifically for Berkeley 4.1 IPC. 1058deliver.c Routines to deliver mail. 1059domain.c Routines that interface with DNS (the Domain Name 1060 System). 1061err.c Routines to print error messages. 1062envelope.c Routines to manipulate the envelope structure. 1063headers.c Routines to process message headers. 1064macro.c The macro expander. This is used internally to 1065 insert information from the configuration file. 1066main.c The main routine to sendmail. This file also 1067 contains some miscellaneous routines. 1068map.c Support for database maps. 1069mci.c Routines that handle mail connection information caching. 1070parseaddr.c The routines which do address parsing. 1071queue.c Routines to implement message queueing. 1072readcf.c The routine that reads the configuration file and 1073 translates it to internal form. 1074recipient.c Routines that manipulate the recipient list. 1075savemail.c Routines which save the letter on processing errors. 1076sendmail.h Main header file for sendmail. 1077srvrsmtp.c Routines to implement server SMTP. 1078stab.c Routines to manage the symbol table. 1079stats.c Routines to collect and post the statistics. 1080sysexits.c List of error messages associated with error codes 1081 in sysexits.h. 1082trace.c The trace package. These routines allow setting and 1083 testing of trace flags with a high granularity. 1084udb.c The user database interface module. 1085usersmtp.c Routines to implement user SMTP. 1086util.c Some general purpose routines used by sendmail. 1087version.c The version number and information about this 1088 version of sendmail. Theoretically, this gets 1089 modified on every change. 1090 1091Eric Allman 1092 1093(Version 8.93, last update 05/27/95 14:37:39) 1094
