>Description:
While /etc/defaults/rc.conf (line 510) and /etc/rc.conf uses YES and NO to switch sendmail on and off, two scripts in /etc/rc.d check against [Nn][Oo][Nn][Ee] instead. Obviously, this leads to unwanted behaviour.

Please find a patch attached.



P.S.: There's also a "checkyesno" shell function used in similar places which might be preferred. I don't know.
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot with sendmail disabled in /etc/rc.conf: some sendmail stuff gets initialized anyways.
>Fix:
