Summary: OSF/1 V1.3 + sendmail.8.6.{8,10} = Nogo?

My original question (shortened) was how to get sendmail.8.6.10 and
OSF/1 V1.3 to run together.

I received a few good answers and one which was correct to nine decimal
places. The upshot of it is that if you want to run sendmail.8.6.10,
make sure that you use the correct cf files (thanks Roland).

I've included the pertinant messages below. Thanks to everyone who
responded.

looks like it is trying to get the aliases file from NIS.

	I had similair error on OSF/1 3.0, but they went away when I
 recompiled with -NEWDB flag _only_ (previously, I had -DNDBM _and
 -DNEWDB, which gave those errors).

				     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
you must be using a sendmail.cf that didn't come with 8.6.10. I'm sending
you the version which I have, that was created using the m4 macros with
8.6.10. (It's actually a 8.6.9 cf file, as the .10 release didn't include
any changes for the cf files.)

What does sendmail say when you're using the Mail program that comes with
the sendmail package ? I think mailx is built around DEC OSF1's sendmail
which is slightly different than the freeware version of sendmail (?)

>Has anyone gotten OSF V1.3 + sendmail 8.6.{8,10} to work?
Sure, it works fine.  Here's my recipe for it:
----
Ingredients:
    OSF 1.3
    sendmail.8.6.10*Z
1) mkdir sendmail-8.6.10
2) cd sendmail-8.6.10
3) zcat sendmail.8.6.10.base.tar.Z | tar xf -
   zcat sendmail.8.6.10.cf.tar.Z | tar xf -
   zcat sendmail.8.6.10.misc.tar.Z | tar xf -
   zcat sendmail.8.6.10.xdoc.tar.Z | tar xf -
4) cd src
5) in Makefile.OSF1:
    BINDIR=	${DESTDIR}/usr/local/sbin
    STDIR=	${DESTDIR}/usr/local/log
    HFDIR=	${DESTDIR}/usr/local/lib
    LINKS=  /usr/local/bin/newaliases /usr/local/bin/mailq
6) cp cdefs.h /usr/local/include/sys
7) in pathnames.h:
    # define _PATH_SENDMAILCF	"/usr/local/etc/sendmail.cf"
    #  define _PATH_SENDMAILPID	"/usr/local/etc/sendmail.pid"
8) make -f Makefile.OSF1 sendmail
9) make -f Makefile.OSF1 install-sendmail
10) cd ../cf/domain
11) create ORNL.m4:
    
    define(`BITNET_RELAY', `CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU')dnl
    FEATURE(redirect)dnl
12) cd ../cf
13) create ws.mc:
    include(`../m4/cf.m4')
    DOMAIN(ORNL)dnl
    OSTYPE(osf1)dnl
    MAILER(local)dnl
    MAILER(smtp)dnl
14) m4 ws.mc >ws.cf
15) cp ws.cf /usr/local/etc/sendmail.cf
16) restart sendmail
