On a linux RPM based system NFS export a source directory e.g. /data2 :
2. mkdir /data2/RPM ; cd /data2/RPM ;
mkdir BUILD RPMS SOURCES SPECS SRPMS
cd /usr/src/RPM
mv BUILD BUILD.org ; ln -s /data2/RPM/BUILD .
3. install the sendmail SRPM :
cd /usr/src/RPM/SRPMS
rpm -i sendmail-8.11.6-15.src.rpm (the official SRPM for sendmail
on RedHat 7.3 )
4. cp sendmail.spec into /usr/src/RPM/SPECS :
cd /data2/irix/sendmail
cp sendmail.spec /usr/src/RPM/SPECS
5. [weyl:root]:(/data2/RPM/SPECS)# cd /usr/src/RPM/SPECS/
[weyl:root]:(/usr/src/RPM/SPECS)# rpm -v -ba sendmail.spec

Now the source for sendmail had been put in place for Irix 5.3 which
has /data2 from weyl mounted as a NFS share at /mnt/data2 in the below
example. On the the Irix5.3 machine shockley do the following :
1. cd /mnt/data2/irix/sendmail
cp site.config.m4 /mnt/data2/RPM/BUILD/sendmail-8.11.6/devtools/Site
2. cd /mnt/data2/RPM/BUILD/sendmail-8.11.6/sendmail
sh Build
3. cd /mnt/data2/irix/sendmail
cp irix5.mc /mnt/data2/RPM/BUILD/sendmail-8.11.6/cf/cf
cd /mnt/data2/RPM/BUILD/sendmail-8.11.6/cf/cf
./Build irix5.cf
4. mkdir /etc/mail
chmod go-w / /etc /etc/mail /usr /var /var/spool /var/spool/mqueue
chown root / /etc /etc/mail /usr /var /var/spool /var/spool/mqueue
5. cd /mnt/data2/RPM/BUILD/sendmail-8.11.6/cf/cf
cp -p irix5.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
cd /mnt/data2/RPM/BUILD/sendmail-8.11.6/sendmail
sh Build install
6. cd /mnt/data2/RPM/BUILD/sendmail-8.11.6/
for i in libmilter libsmdb libsmutil mail.local mailstats \
makemap praliases rmail smrsh vacation
do
pushd $i
if [ "$i" = "rmail" ]; then
sh Build force-install
elif [ "$i" = "mail.local" ]; then
sh Build force-install
else
sh Build install
fi
popd
done
7. cd /mnt/data2/irix/sendmail
cp -p sendmail.init /etc/init.d/sendmail
cd /etc/rc2.d
rm S50mail
ln -s ../init.d/sendmail S50sendmail
8. Make sure the mail account is properly configured :
[shockley:root]:(/etc/init.d)# grep mail /etc/passwd
mail:*:8:4:mail:/var/mail:/dev/null
[shockley:root]:(/etc/init.d)# grep mail /etc/group
mail::4:root
[shockley:root]:(/etc/init.d)#
9. Install the additional files and utils inside /etc/mail :
cd /mnt/data2/irix/sendmail/etc/mail
cp -p * /etc/mail
cd /etc/mail
(edit e.g. /etc/mail/access and add your local LAN ip-numbers etc.)
make
10. Fire up your sendmail (after moving the old broken one
out of the way of course ) :
cd /etc/rc2.d
[shockley:root]:(/etc/rc2.d)# ./S50sendmail status
/usr/lib/sendmail is stopped
[shockley:root]:(/etc/rc2.d)# ./S50sendmail start
Starting sendmail: ... sendmail started
[shockley:root]:(/etc/rc2.d)#
[shockley:root]:(/etc/rc2.d)# ./S50sendmail status
/usr/lib/sendmail (pid 26840) is running...
[shockley:root]:(/etc/rc2.d)#
from /var/adm/MAILLOG :
Aug 24 18:36:50 5C:shockley sendmail[26831]: alias database /etc/aliases rebuilt by stock
Aug 24 18:36:51 6C:shockley sendmail[26831]: /etc/aliases: 30 aliases, longest 10 bytes, 463 bytes total
Aug 24 18:36:51 6C:shockley sendmail[26840]: starting daemon (8.11.6): SMTP+queueing@01:00:00
11. Logging the mail messages inside a different location as SYSLOG :
edit /etc/syslog.conf (my adjusted edition) :
# Configuration file for syslogd(1M)
# $Revision: 1.11 $
#
# Formats: selector<TAB>action
# selector<TAB>filter<TAB>action
kern.debug;mail.none |/usr/sbin/klogpp /var/adm/SYSLOG
*.debug;kern.none;mail.none /var/adm/SYSLOG
mail.debug /var/adm/MAILLOG
*.crit |/var/adm/sysmonpp /var/adm/SYSLOG
touch /var/adm/MAILLOG
12. Adjust the rotating of logfile inside the crontab :
Here comes the adjusted section from contrab -l (Warning Irix5.3
does NOT have crontab -e! ) :
# Rotate the logs
1 1 * * 0 umask 033;cd /var/cron;if test -s log && test "`wc -c log`" -ge 10240; then mv -f log OLDlog;touch log; killall 1 cron; fi
1 1 * * 0 umask 077;cd /var/adm;if test -s sulog && test "`wc -c sulog`" -ge 10240; then mv -f sulog OLDsulog;touch sulog; fi
1 1 * * 0 umask 033;cd /var/adm;if test -s SYSLOG && test "`wc -c SYSLOG`" -ge 10240; then mv -f SYSLOG oSYSLOG;touch SYSLOG; killall 1 syslogd; fi
1 1 * * 0 umask 033;cd /var/adm;if test -s MAILLOG && test "`wc -c MAILLOG`" -ge 10240; then mv -f MAILLOG oMAILLOG;touch MAILLOG; killall 1 syslogd; fi

Is "04/02/103" supposed to be April 2, 2003?
