Hello,
I am patching for the recent sendmail advisory:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-06:13.sendmail.asc
I have followed the patching instructions:
b) Execute the following commands as root:
# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/patch
# cd /usr/src/lib/libsm
# make obj && make depend && make
# cd /usr/src/lib/libsmutil
# make obj && make depend && make
# cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail
# make obj && make depend && make && make install
and now all I need to do is restart sendmail so that the new binaries are
loaded and running.
I _think_ the correct method is:
cd /etc/mail
make restart
but is that ^^^ sufficient ? Or is there something more to do to make
sure I have no remnants of the old one running ?
Thanks.
