It also creates a 51c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmsubdirectory per object format, so that multiarchitecture support is 52c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmeasy. In general this should be all you need. IRIX 6.x users should 53c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmread the note below in the OPERATING SYSTEM AND COMPILE QUIRKS section. 54c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 55c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIf you need to look at other include or library directories, use the 56c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm-I or -L flags on the command line, e.g., 57c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 58c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm sh Build -I/usr/sww/include -L/usr/sww/lib 59c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 60c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIt's also possible to create local site configuration in the file 61c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmsite.config.m4 (or another file settable with the -f flag). This 62c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmfile contains M4 definitions for various compilation values; the 63c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmmost useful are: 64c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 65c2aa98e2SPeter WemmconfMAPDEF -D flags to specify database types to be included 66c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm (see below) 67c2aa98e2SPeter WemmconfENVDEF -D flags to specify other environment information 68c2aa98e2SPeter WemmconfINCDIRS -I flags for finding include files during compilation 69c2aa98e2SPeter WemmconfLIBDIRS -L flags for finding libraries during linking 70c2aa98e2SPeter WemmconfLIBS -l flags for selecting libraries during linking 71c2aa98e2SPeter WemmconfLDOPTS other ld(1) linker options 72c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 73c2aa98e2SPeter WemmOthers can be found by examining Makefile.m4.

This removes the existing compilation directory for the 79c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmcurrent platform and builds a new one. 80c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 81c2aa98e2SPeter WemmPorting to a new Unix-based system should be a matter of creating 8206f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiroan appropriate configuration file in the devtools/OS/ directory. 83c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 84c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 85c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm+----------------------+ 86c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm| DATABASE DEFINITIONS | 87c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm+----------------------+ 88c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 89c2aa98e2SPeter WemmThere are several database formats that can be used for the alias files 90c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmand for general maps. When used for alias files they interact in an 91c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmattempt to be backward compatible. 92c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 93c2aa98e2SPeter WemmThe options are: 94c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 95c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNEWDB The new Berkeley DB package. Some systems (e.g., BSD/OS and 96c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm Digital UNIX 4.0) have some version of this package 97c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm pre-installed. If your system does not have Berkeley DB 98c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm pre-installed, or the version installed is not version 2.0 99c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm or greater (e.g., is Berkeley DB 1.85 or 1.86), get the 100c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm current version from http://www.sleepycat.com/. DO NOT 101c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm use a version from any of the University of California, 102c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm Berkeley "Net" or other distributions. If you are still 103c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm running BSD/386 1.x, you will need to upgrade the included 104c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm Berkeley DB library to a current version. NEWDB is included 105c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm automatically if the Build script can find a library named 10606f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro libdb.a or libdb.so. 107c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNDBM The older NDBM implementation -- the very old V7 DBM 108c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm implementation is no longer supported. 109c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNIS Network Information Services. To use this you must have 110c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm NIS support on your system. 111c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNISPLUS NIS+ (the revised NIS released with Solaris 2). You must 112c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm have NIS+ support on your system to use this flag. 113c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHESIOD Support for Hesiod (from the DEC/Athena distribution). You 114c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm must already have Hesiod support on your system for this to 115c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm work. You may be able to get this to work with the MIT/Athena 116c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm version of Hesiod, but that's likely to be a lot of work. 117c86d5965SGregory Neil Shapiro BIND 8.X also includes Hesiod support. 11806f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroLDAPMAP Lightweight Directory Access Protocol support. You will 11906f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro have to install the UMich or OpenLDAP 12006f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro (http://www.openldap.org/) ldap and lber libraries to use 12106f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro this flag. 122c2aa98e2SPeter WemmMAP_REGEX Regular Expression support. You will need to use an 123c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm operating system which comes with the POSIX regex() 124c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm routines or install a regexp library such as libregex from 125c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm the Free Software Foundation. 12606f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroPH_MAP PH map support. You will need the qi PH package. 12706f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroMAP_NSD nsd map support (IRIX 6.5 and later). 128c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 129c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>> NOTE WELL for NEWDB support: If you want to get ndbm support, for 130c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>> Berkeley DB versions under 2.0, it is CRITICAL that you remove 131c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>> ndbm.o from libdb.a before you install it and DO NOT install ndbm.h; 132c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>> for Berkeley DB versions 2.0 through 2.3.14, remove dbm.o from libdb.a 133c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>> before you install it. If you don't delete these, there is absolutely 134c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>> no point to including -DNDBM, since it will just get you another 135c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>> (inferior) API to the same format database. These files OVERRIDE 136c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>> calls to ndbm routines -- in particular, if you leave ndbm.h in, 137c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>> you can find yourself using the new db package even if you don't 138c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>> define NEWDB. Berkeley DB versions later than 2.3.14 do not need 139c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>> to be modified. Please also consult the README in the top level 140c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>> directory of the sendmail distribution for other important information. 141c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>> 142c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>> Further note: DO NOT remove your existing /usr/include/ndbm.h -- 143c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>> you need that one. But do not install an updated ndbm.h in 144c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>> /usr/include, /usr/local/include, or anywhere else. 145c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 146c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIf NEWDB and NDBM are defined (but not NIS), then sendmail will read 147c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNDBM format alias files, but the next time a newaliases is run the 148c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmformat will be converted to NEWDB; that format will be used forever 149c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmmore. This is intended as a transition feature. 150c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 151c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIf NEWDB, NDBM, and NIS are all defined and the name of the file includes 152c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmthe string "/yp/", sendmail will rebuild BOTH the NEWDB and NDBM format 153c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmalias files. However, it will only read the NEWDB file; the NDBM format 154c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmfile is used only by the NIS subsystem. This is needed because the NIS 155c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmmaps on an NIS server are built directly from the NDBM files. 156c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 157c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIf NDBM and NIS are defined (regardless of the definition of NEWDB), 158c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmand the filename includes the string "/yp/", sendmail adds the special 159c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmtokens "YP_LAST_MODIFIED" and "YP_MASTER_NAME", both of which are 160c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmrequired if the NDBM file is to be used as an NIS map. 161c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 162c2aa98e2SPeter WemmAll of these flags are normally defined in the DBMDEF line in the 163c2aa98e2SPeter WemmMakefile. 164c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 165c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIf you define NEWDB or HESIOD you get the User Database (USERDB) 166c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmautomatically. Generally you do want to have NEWDB for it to do 167c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmanything interesting. See above for getting the Berkeley DB 168c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmpackage (i.e., NEWDB). There is no separate "user database" 169c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmpackage -- don't bother searching for it on the net. 170c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 171c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHesiod and LDAP require libraries that may not be installed with your 172c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmsystem. These are outside of my ability to provide support. See the 173c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm"Quirks" section for more information. 174c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 175c2aa98e2SPeter WemmThe regex map can be used to see if an address matches a certain regular 176c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmexpression. For example, all-numerics local parts are common spam 177c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmaddresses, so "^[0-9]+$" would match this. By using such a map in a 178c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmcheck_* rule-set, you can block a certain range of addresses that would 179c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmotherwise be considered valid. 180c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 18113058a91SGregory Neil Shapiro 182c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm+---------------+ 183c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm| COMPILE FLAGS | 184c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm+---------------+ 185c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 186c2aa98e2SPeter WemmWherever possible, I try to make sendmail pull in the correct 187c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmcompilation options needed to compile on various environments based on 188c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmautomatically defined symbols. Some machines don't seem to have useful 189c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmsymbols available, requiring that a compilation flag be defined in 19006f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapirothe Makefile; see the devtools/OS subdirectory for the supported 191c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmarchitectures. 192c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 193c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIf you are a system to which sendmail has already been ported you 194c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmshould not have to touch the following symbols. But if you are porting, 195c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmyou may have to tweak the following compilation flags in conf.h in order 196c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmto get it to compile and link properly: 197c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 198c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSYSTEM5 Adjust for System V (not necessarily Release 4). 199c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSYS5SIGNALS Use System V signal semantics -- the signal handler 200c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm is automatically dropped when the signal is caught. 201c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm If this is not set, use POSIX/BSD semantics, where the 202c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm signal handler stays in force until an exec or an 203c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm explicit delete. Implied by SYSTEM5. 204c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSYS5SETPGRP Use System V setpgrp() semantics. Implied by SYSTEM5. 205c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASFCHMOD Define this to one if you have the fchmod(2) system call. 206c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm This improves security. 20706f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroHASFCHOWN Define this to one if you have the fchown(2) system call. 20806f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro This is required for the TrustedUser option. 209c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASFLOCK Set this if you prefer to use the flock(2) system call 210c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm rather than using fcntl-based locking. Fcntl locking 211c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm has some semantic gotchas, but many vendor systems 212c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm also interface it to lockd(8) to do NFS-style locking. 213c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm Unfortunately, may vendors implementations of fcntl locking 214c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm is just plain broken (e.g., locks are never released, 215c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm causing your sendmail to deadlock; when the kernel runs 216c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm out of locks your system crashes). For this reason, I 217c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm recommend always defining this unless you are absolutely 218c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm certain that your fcntl locking implementation really works. 219c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASUNAME Set if you have the "uname" system call. Implied by 220c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm SYSTEM5. 221c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASUNSETENV Define this if your system library has the "unsetenv" 222c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm subroutine. 223c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASSETSID Define this if you have the setsid(2) system call. This 224c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm is implied if your system appears to be POSIX compliant. 225c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASINITGROUPS Define this if you have the initgroups(3) routine. 226c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASSETVBUF Define this if you have the setvbuf(3) library call. 227c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm If you don't, setlinebuf will be used instead. This 228c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm defaults on if your compiler defines __STDC__. 229c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASSETREUID Define this if you have setreuid(2) ***AND*** root can 230c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm use setreuid to change to an arbitrary user. This second 231c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm condition is not satisfied on AIX 3.x. You may find that 232c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm your system has setresuid(2), (for example, on HP-UX) in 233c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm which case you will also have to #define setreuid(r, e) 234c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm to be the appropriate call. Some systems (such as Solaris) 235c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm have a compatibility routine that doesn't work properly, 236c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm but may have "saved user ids" properly implemented so you 237c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm can ``#define setreuid(r, e) seteuid(e)'' and have it work. 238c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm The important thing is that you have a call that will set 239c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm the effective uid independently of the real or saved uid 240c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm and be able to set the effective uid back again when done. 241c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm There's a test program in ../test/t_setreuid.c that will 242c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm try things on your system. Setting this improves the 243c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm security, since sendmail doesn't have to read .forward 244c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm and :include: files as root. There are certain attacks 245c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm that may be unpreventable without this call. 246c2aa98e2SPeter WemmUSESETEUID Define this to 1 if you have a seteuid(2) system call that 247c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm will allow root to set only the effective user id to an 248c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm arbitrary value ***AND*** you have saved user ids. This is 249c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm preferable to HASSETREUID if these conditions are fulfilled. 250c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm These are the semantics of the to-be-released revision of 251c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm Posix.1. The test program ../test/t_seteuid.c will try 252c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm this out on your system. If you define both HASSETREUID 253c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm and USESETEUID, the former is ignored. 254c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASLSTAT Define this if you have symbolic links (and thus the 255c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm lstat(2) system call). This improves security. Unlike 256c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm most other options, this one is on by default, so you 257c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm need to #undef it in conf.h if you don't have symbolic 258c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm links (these days everyone does). 259c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASSETRLIMIT Define this to 1 if you have the setrlimit(2) syscall. 260c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm You can define it to 0 to force it off. It is assumed 261c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm if you are running a BSD-like system. 262c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASULIMIT Define this if you have the ulimit(2) syscall (System V 263c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm style systems). HASSETRLIMIT overrides, as it is more 264c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm general. 265c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASWAITPID Define this if you have the waitpid(2) syscall. 266c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASGETDTABLESIZE 267c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm Define this if you have the getdtablesize(2) syscall. 268c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHAS_ST_GEN Define this to 1 if your system has the st_gen field in 269c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm the stat structure (see stat(2)). 27006f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroHASSRANDOMDEV Define this if your system has the srandomdev(3) function 27106f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro call. 27206f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroHASURANDOMDEV Define this if your system has /dev/urandom(4). 27306f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroHASSTRERROR Define this if you have the libc strerror(3) function (which 274c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm should be declared in <errno.h>), and it should be used 275c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm instead of sys_errlist. 276c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNEEDGETOPT Define this if you need a reimplementation of getopt(3). 277c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm On some systems, getopt does very odd things if called 278c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm to scan the arguments twice. This flag will ask sendmail 279c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm to compile in a local version of getopt that works 280c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm properly. 281c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNEEDSTRTOL Define this if your standard C library does not define 282c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm strtol(3). This will compile in a local version. 283c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNEEDVPRINTF Define this if your standard C library does not define 284c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm vprintf(3). Note that the resulting fake implementation 285c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm is not very elegant and may not even work on some 286c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm architectures. 287c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNEEDFSYNC Define this if your standard C library does not define 288c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm fsync(2). This will try to simulate the operation using 289c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm fcntl(2); if that is not available it does nothing, which 290c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm isn't great, but at least it compiles and runs. 291c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASGETUSERSHELL Define this to 1 if you have getusershell(3) in your 292c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm standard C library. If this is not defined, or is defined 293c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm to be 0, sendmail will scan the /etc/shells file (no 294c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm NIS-style support, defaults to /bin/sh and /bin/csh if 295c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm that file does not exist) to get a list of unrestricted 296c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm user shells. This is used to determine whether users 297c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm are allowed to forward their mail to a program or a file. 298c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNEEDPUTENV Define this if your system needs am emulation of the 299c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm putenv(3) call. Define to 1 to implement it in terms 300c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm of setenv(3) or to 2 to do it in terms of primitives. 301c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNOFTRUNCATE Define this if you don't have the ftruncate(2) syscall. 302c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm If you don't have this system call, there is an unavoidable 303c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm race condition that occurs when creating alias databases. 304c2aa98e2SPeter WemmGIDSET_T The type of entries in a gidset passed as the second 305c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm argument to getgroups(2). Historically this has been an 306c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm int, so this is the default, but some systems (such as 307c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm IRIX) pass it as a gid_t, which is an unsigned short. 308c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm This will make a difference, so it is important to get 309c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm this right! However, it is only an issue if you have 310c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm group sets. 311c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSLEEP_T The type returned by the system sleep() function. 312c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm Defaults to "unsigned int". Don't worry about this 313c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm if you don't have compilation problems. 314c2aa98e2SPeter WemmARBPTR_T The type of an arbitrary pointer -- defaults to "void *". 315c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm If you are an very old compiler you may need to define 316c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm this to be "char *". 317c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSOCKADDR_LEN_T The type used for the third parameter to accept(2), 318c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm getsockname(2), and getpeername(2), representing the 319c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm length of a struct sockaddr. Defaults to int. 320c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSOCKOPT_LEN_T The type used for the fifth parameter to getsockopt(2) 321c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm and setsockopt(2), representing the length of the option 322c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm buffer. Defaults to int. 323c2aa98e2SPeter WemmLA_TYPE The type of load average your kernel supports. These 324c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm can be one of: 325c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm LA_ZERO (1) -- it always returns the load average as 326c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm "zero" (and does so on all architectures). 327c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm LA_INT (2) to read /dev/kmem for the symbol avenrun and 328c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm interpret as a long integer. 329c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm LA_FLOAT (3) same, but interpret the result as a floating 330c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm point number. 331c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm LA_SHORT (6) to interpret as a short integer. 332c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm LA_SUBR (4) if you have the getloadavg(3) routine in your 333c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm system library. 334c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm LA_MACH (5) to use MACH-style load averages (calls 335c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm processor_set_info()), 336c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm LA_PROCSTR (7) to read /proc/loadavg and interpret it 337c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm as a string representing a floating-point 338c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm number (Linux-style). 339c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm LA_READKSYM (8) is an implementation suitable for some 340c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm versions of SVr4 that uses the MIOC_READKSYM ioctl 341c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm call to read /dev/kmem. 342c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm LA_DGUX (9) is a special implementation for DG/UX that uses 343c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm the dg_sys_info system call. 344c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm LA_HPUX (10) is an HP-UX specific version that uses the 345c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm pstat_getdynamic system call. 346c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm LA_IRIX6 (11) is an IRIX 6.x specific version that adapts 347c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm to 32 or 64 bit kernels; it is otherwise very similar 348c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm to LA_INT. 349c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm LA_KSTAT (12) uses the (Solaris-specific) kstat(3k) 350c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm implementation. 351c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm LA_DEVSHORT (13) reads a short from a system file (default: 352c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm /dev/table/avenrun) and scales it in the same manner 353c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm as LA_SHORT. 354c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm LA_INT, LA_SHORT, LA_FLOAT, and LA_READKSYM have several 355c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm other parameters that they try to divine: the name of your 356c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm kernel, the name of the variable in the kernel to examine, 357c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm the number of bits of precision in a fixed point load average, 358c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm and so forth. LA_DEVSHORT uses _PATH_AVENRUN to find the 359c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm device to be read to find the load average. 360c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm In desperation, use LA_ZERO. The actual code is in 361c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm conf.c -- it can be tweaked if you are brave. 362c2aa98e2SPeter WemmFSHIFT For LA_INT, LA_SHORT, and LA_READKSYM, this is the number 363c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm of bits of load average after the binary point -- i.e., 364c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm the number of bits to shift right in order to scale the 365c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm integer to get the true integer load average. Defaults to 8. 366c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm_PATH_UNIX The path to your kernel. Needed only for LA_INT, LA_SHORT, 367c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm and LA_FLOAT. Defaults to "/unix" on System V, "/vmunix" 368c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm everywhere else. 369c2aa98e2SPeter WemmLA_AVENRUN For LA_INT, LA_SHORT, and LA_FLOAT, the name of the kernel 370c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm variable that holds the load average. Defaults to "avenrun" 371c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm on System V, "_avenrun" everywhere else. 372c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSFS_TYPE Encodes how your kernel can locate the amount of free 373c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm space on a disk partition. This can be set to SFS_NONE 374c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm (0) if you have no way of getting this information, 375c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm SFS_USTAT (1) if you have the ustat(2) system call, 376c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm SFS_4ARGS (2) if you have a four-argument statfs(2) 377c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm system call (and the include file is <sys/statfs.h>), 378c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm SFS_VFS (3), SFS_MOUNT (4), SFS_STATFS (5) if you have 379c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm the two-argument statfs(2) system call with includes in 380c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm <sys/vfs.h>, <sys/mount.h>, or <sys/statfs.h> respectively, 381c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm or SFS_STATVFS (6) if you have the two-argument statvfs(2) 382c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm call. The default if nothing is defined is SFS_NONE. 383c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSFS_BAVAIL with SFS_4ARGS you can also set SFS_BAVAIL to the field name 384c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm in the statfs structure that holds the useful information; 385c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm this defaults to f_bavail. 386c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSPT_TYPE Encodes how your system can display what a process is doing 387c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm on a ps(1) command (SPT stands for Set Process Title). Can 388c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm be set to: 389c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm SPT_NONE (0) -- Don't try to set the process title at all. 390c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm SPT_REUSEARGV (1) -- Pad out your argv with the information; 391c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm this is the default if none specified. 392c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm SPT_BUILTIN (2) -- The system library has setproctitle. 393c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm SPT_PSTAT (3) -- Use the PSTAT_SETCMD option to pstat(2) 394c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm to set the process title; this is used by HP-UX. 395c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm SPT_PSSTRINGS (4) -- Use the magic PS_STRINGS pointer (4.4BSD). 396c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm SPT_SYSMIPS (5) -- Use sysmips() supported by NEWS-OS 6. 397c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm SPT_SCO (6) -- Write kernel u. area. 398c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm SPT_CHANGEARGV (7) -- Write pointers to our own strings into 399c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm the existing argv vector. 400c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSPT_PADCHAR Character used to pad the process title; if undefined, 401c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm the space character (0x20) is used. This is ignored if 402c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm SPT_TYPE != SPT_REUSEARGV 403c2aa98e2SPeter WemmERRLIST_PREDEFINED 404c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm If set, assumes that some header file defines sys_errlist. 405c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm This may be needed if you get type conflicts on this 406c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm variable -- otherwise don't worry about it. 407c2aa98e2SPeter WemmWAITUNION The wait(2) routine takes a "union wait" argument instead 408c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm of an integer argument. This is for compatibility with 409c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm old versions of BSD. 410c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSCANF You can set this to extend the F command to accept a 411c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm scanf string -- this gives you a primitive parser for 412c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm class definitions -- BUT it can make you vulnerable to 413c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm core dumps if the target file is poorly formed. 414c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSYSLOG_BUFSIZE You can define this to be the size of the buffer that 415c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm syslog accepts. If it is not defined, it assumes a 416c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 1024-byte buffer. If the buffer is very small (under 417c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 256 bytes) the log message format changes -- each 418c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm e-mail message will log many more messages, since it 419c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm will log each piece of information as a separate line 420c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm in syslog. 421c2aa98e2SPeter WemmBROKEN_RES_SEARCH 422c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm On Ultrix (and maybe other systems?) if you use the 423c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm res_search routine with an unknown host name, it returns 424c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm -1 but sets h_errno to 0 instead of HOST_NOT_FOUND. If 425c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm you set this, sendmail considers 0 to be the same as 426c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm HOST_NOT_FOUND. 427c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNAMELISTMASK If defined, values returned by nlist(3) are masked 428c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm against this value before use -- a common value is 429c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 0x7fffffff to strip off the top bit. 430c2aa98e2SPeter WemmBSD4_4_SOCKADDR If defined, socket addresses have an sa_len field that 431c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm defines the length of this address. 432c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSAFENFSPATHCONF Set this to 1 if and only if you have verified that a 433c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm pathconf(2) call with _PC_CHOWN_RESTRICTED argument on an 434c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm NFS filesystem where the underlying system allows users to 435c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm give away files to other users returns <= 0. Be sure you 436c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm try both on NFS V2 and V3. Some systems assume that their 437c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm local policy apply to NFS servers -- this is a bad 438c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm assumption! The test/t_pathconf.c program will try this 439c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm for you -- you have to run it in a directory that is 440c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm mounted from a server that allows file giveaway. 441c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSIOCGIFCONF_IS_BROKEN 442c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm Set this if your system has an SIOCGIFCONF ioctl defined, 443c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm but it doesn't behave the same way as "most" systems (BSD, 444c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm Solaris, SunOS, HP-UX, etc.) 445c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSIOCGIFNUM_IS_BROKEN 446c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm Set this if your system has an SIOCGIFNUM ioctl defined, 447c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm but it doesn't behave the same way as "most" systems 448c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm (Solaris, HP-UX). 449c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNEED_PERCENTQ Set this if your system doesn't support the printf 450c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm format strings %lld or %llu. If this is set, %qd and 451c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm %qu are used instead. 45206f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroFAST_PID_RECYCLE 45306f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro Set this if your system can reuse the same PID in the same 45406f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro second. 45506f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroSO_REUSEADDR_IS_BROKEN 45606f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro Set this if your system has a setsockopt() SO_REUSEADDR 45706f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro flag but doesn't pay attention to it when trying to bind a 45806f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro socket to a recently closed port. 45906f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroSNPRINTF_IS_BROKEN 46006f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro Set this if your system has an snprintf() implementation 46106f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro which does not NUL terminate the string being filled in. 46206f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro Use test/t_snprintf.c to test your system. 4638774250cSGregory Neil ShapiroNEEDSGETIPNODE Set this if your system supports IPv6 but doesn't include 4648774250cSGregory Neil Shapiro the getipnodeby{name,addr}() functions. Set automatically 4658774250cSGregory Neil Shapiro for Linux's glibc. 466c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 46713058a91SGregory Neil Shapiro 468c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm+-----------------------+ 469c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm| COMPILE-TIME FEATURES | 470c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm+-----------------------+ 471c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 472c2aa98e2SPeter WemmThere are a bunch of features that you can decide to compile in, such 473c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmas selecting various database packages and special protocol support. 474c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSeveral are assumed based on other compilation flags -- if you want to 475c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm"un-assume" something, you probably need to edit conf.h. Compilation 476c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmflags that add support for special features include: 477c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 478c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNDBM Include support for "new" DBM library for aliases and maps. 479c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm Normally defined in the Makefile. 480c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNEWDB Include support for Berkeley DB package (hash & btree) 481c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm for aliases and maps. Normally defined in the Makefile. 482c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm If the version of NEWDB you have is the old one that does 483c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm not include the "fd" call (this call was added in version 484c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 1.5 of the Berkeley DB code), you must upgrade to the 485c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm current version of Berkeley DB. 486c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNIS Define this to get NIS (YP) support for aliases and maps. 487c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm Normally defined in the Makefile. 488c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNISPLUS Define this to get NIS+ support for aliases and maps. 489c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm Normally defined in the Makefile. 490c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHESIOD Define this to get Hesiod support for aliases and maps. 491c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm Normally defined in the Makefile. 492c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNETINFO Define this to get NeXT NetInfo support for aliases and maps. 493c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm Normally defined in the Makefile. 49406f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroLDAPMAP Define this to get LDAP support for maps. 49506f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroPH_MAP Define this to get PH support for maps. 49606f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroMAP_NSD Define this to get nsd support for maps. 497c2aa98e2SPeter WemmUSERDB Define this to 1 to include support for the User Information 498c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm Database. Implied by NEWDB or HESIOD. You can use 499c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm -DUSERDB=0 to explicitly turn it off. 500c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIDENTPROTO Define this as 1 to get IDENT (RFC 1413) protocol support. 501c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm This is assumed unless you are running on Ultrix or 502c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm HP-UX, both of which have a problem in the UDP 503c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm implementation. You can define it to be 0 to explicitly 504c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm turn off IDENT protocol support. If defined off, the code 505c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm is actually still compiled in, but it defaults off; you 50606f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro can turn it on by setting the IDENT timeout in the 507c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm configuration file. 508c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIP_SRCROUTE Define this to 1 to get IP source routing information 509c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm displayed in the Received: header. This is assumed on 510c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm most systems, but some (e.g., Ultrix) apparently have a 511c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm broken version of getsockopt that doesn't properly 512c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm support the IP_OPTIONS call. You probably want this if 513c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm your OS can cope with it. Symptoms of failure will be that 514c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm it won't compile properly (that is, no support for fetching 515c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm IP_OPTIONs), or it compiles but source-routed TCP connections 516c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm either refuse to open or open and hang for no apparent reason. 517c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm Ultrix and AIX3 are known to fail this way. 518c2aa98e2SPeter WemmLOG Set this to get syslog(3) support. Defined by default 519c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm in conf.h. You want this if at all possible. 520c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNETINET Set this to get TCP/IP support. Defined by default 521c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm in conf.h. You probably want this. 52206f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroNETINET6 Set this to get IPv6 support. Other configuration may 52306f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro be needed in conf.h for your particular operating system. 52406f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro Also, DaemonPortOptions must be set appropriately for 52506f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro sendmail to accept IPv6 connections. 526c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNETISO Define this to get ISO networking support. 527c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNETUNIX Define this to get Unix domain networking support. Defined 528c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm by default. A few bizarre systems (SCO, ISC, Altos) don't 529c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm support this networking domain. 53006f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroNETNS Define this to get NS networking support. 53106f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroNETX25 Define this to get X.25 networking support. 532c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSMTP Define this to get the SMTP code. Implied by NETINET 533c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm or NETISO. 534c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNAMED_BIND If non-zero, include DNS (name daemon) support, including 535c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm MX support. The specs say you must use this if you run 536c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm SMTP. You don't have to be running a name server daemon 537c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm on your machine to need this -- any use of the DNS resolver, 538c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm including remote access to another machine, requires this 539c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm option. Defined by default in conf.h. Define it to zero 540c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm ONLY on machines that do not use DNS in any way. 541c2aa98e2SPeter WemmQUEUE Define this to get queueing code. Implied by NETINET 542c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm or NETISO; required by SMTP. This gives you other good 543c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm stuff -- it should be on. 544c2aa98e2SPeter WemmDAEMON Define this to get general network support. Implied by 545c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm NETINET or NETISO. Defined by default in conf.h. You 546c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm almost certainly want it on. 547c2aa98e2SPeter WemmMATCHGECOS Permit fuzzy matching of user names against the full 548c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm name (GECOS) field in the /etc/passwd file. This should 549c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm probably be on, since you can disable it from the config 550c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm file if you want to. Defined by default in conf.h. 551c2aa98e2SPeter WemmMIME8TO7 If non-zero, include 8 to 7 bit MIME conversions. This 552c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm also controls advertisement of 8BITMIME in the ESMTP 553c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm startup dialogue. 554c2aa98e2SPeter WemmMIME7TO8 If non-zero, include 7 to 8 bit MIME conversions. 555c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHES_GETMAILHOST Define this to 1 if you are using Hesiod with the 556c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm hes_getmailhost() routine. This is included with the MIT 557c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm Hesiod distribution, but not with the DEC Hesiod distribution. 558c2aa98e2SPeter WemmXDEBUG Do additional internal checking. These don't cost too 559c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm much; you might as well leave this on. 560c2aa98e2SPeter WemmTCPWRAPPERS Turns on support for the TCP wrappers library (-lwrap). 561c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm See below for further information. 562c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSECUREWARE Enable calls to the SecureWare luid enabling/changing routines. 563c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm SecureWare is a C2 security package added to several UNIX's 564c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm (notably ConvexOS) to get a C2 Secure system. This 565c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm option causes mail delivery to be done with the luid of the 566c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm recipient. 567c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSHARE_V1 Support for the fair share scheduler, version 1. Setting to 568c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 1 causes final delivery to be done using the recipients 569c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm resource limitations. So far as I know, this is only 570c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm supported on ConvexOS. 57106f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroSASL Enables SMTP AUTH (RFC 2554). This requires the Cyrus SASL 57206f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro library (ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/). Please 57306f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro install at least version 1.5.13. See below for further 57406f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro information: SASL COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION. If your 57506f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro SASL library is older than 1.5.10, you have to set this 57606f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro to its version number using a simple conversion: a.b.c 57706f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro -> c + b*100 + a*10000, e.g. for 1.5.9 define SASL=10509. 57806f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro Note: Using an older version than 1.5.5 of Cyrus SASL is 57906f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro not supported. Starting with version 1.5.10, setting SASL=1 58006f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro is sufficient.

If you are running .14, 1227c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm you must not use flock. You can do this with -DHASFLOCK=0. 1228c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 1229c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm Around the inclusion of bind-4.9.3 & Linux libc-4.6.20, the 1230c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm initialization of the _res structure changed. If /etc/hosts.conf 1231c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm was configured as "hosts, bind" the resolver code could return 1232c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm "Name server failure" errors. This is supposedly fixed in 1233c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm later versions of libc (>= 4.6.29?), and later versions of 1234c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm sendmail (> 8.6.10) try to work around the problem. 1235c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 1236c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm Some older versions (< 4.6.20?) of the libc/include files conflict 1237c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm with sendmail's version of cdefs.h. Deleting sendmail's version 1238c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm on those systems should be non-harmful, and new versions don't care. 1239c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 1240c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm Sendmail assumes that libc has snprintf, which has been true since 1241c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm libc 4.7.0. If you are running an older version, you will need to 1242c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm use -DHASSNPRINTF=0 in the Makefile. If may be able to use -lbsd 1243c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm (which includes snprintf) instead of turning this off on versions 1244c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm of libc between 4.4.4 and 4.7.0 (snprintf improves security, so 1245c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm you want to use this if at all possible). 1246c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 1247c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm NOTE ON LINUX & BIND: By default, the Makefile generated for Linux 1248c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm includes header files in /usr/local/include and libraries in 1249c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm /usr/local/lib. If you've installed BIND on your system, the header 1250c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm files typically end up in the search path and you need to add 1251c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm "-lresolv" to the LIBS line in your Makefile. Really old versions 1252c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm may need to include "-l44bsd" as well (particularly if the link phase 1253c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm complains about missing strcasecmp, strncasecmp or strpbrk). 1254c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm Complaints about an undefined reference to `__dn_skipname' in 1255c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm domain.o are a sure sign that you need to add -lresolv to LIBS. 1256c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm Newer versions of Linux are basically threaded BIND, so you may or 1257c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm may not see complaints if you accidentally mix BIND 1258c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm headers/libraries with virginal libc. If you have BIND headers in 1259c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm /usr/local/include (resolv.h, etc) you *should* be adding -lresolv 1260c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm to LIBS. Data structures may change and you'd be asking for a 1261c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm core dump. 1262c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm 12632e43090eSPeter Wemm A number of problems have been reported regarding the Linux 2.2.0 12642e43090eSPeter Wemm kernel. So far, these problems have been tracked down to syslog() 12652e43090eSPeter Wemm and DNS resolution. We believe the problem is with the poll() 12662e43090eSPeter Wemm implementation in the Linux 2.2.0 kernel and poll()-aware versions 12672e43090eSPeter Wemm of glib (at least up to 2.0.111). 12682e43090eSPeter Wemm 126906f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro Some pre-glibc distributions of Linux include a syslog.h that does 127006f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro not work properly with SFIO. You can fix this by adding 127106f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro "#include <syslog.h>" to the SFIO version of stdio.h as the very 127206f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro first line. 127306f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro 1274602a2b1bSGregory Neil Shapiroglibc 1275602a2b1bSGregory Neil Shapiro glibc 2.2.1 (and possibly other versions) changed the value of 1276602a2b1bSGregory Neil Shapiro __RES in resolv.h but failed to actually provide the IPv6 API 1277602a2b1bSGregory Neil Shapiro changes that the change implied.

Therefore, it is 128806f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro vital that relative and unsafe directory paths not be using when 128906f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro compiling sendmail. Because of this danger, by default, compiles 129006f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro on AIX use the -blibpath option to limit shared libraries to 129106f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro /usr/lib and /lib.
