Now you need to kill and restart Sendmail.
2. To disable identd, perform the following steps:
a. Edit the /etc/inetd.conf file and comment out the ident line by placing a '#'
in the first column as follows:
#auth stream tcp wait bin /usr/lbin/identd identd
b. Force inetd to re-read the inetd.conf file by executing '/usr/sbin/inetd -c' in
the command line.
NOTE: identd is not distributed with this release of Sendmail. However if the system already
contains an identd, you may encounter the above problem.
• If you specify a new location/file for the PidFile option in the sendmail.cf file and try killing
Sendmail, the new file which does not contain any entries will be read by Sendmail instead
of the default one. Therefore, Sendmail will not be killed. When you try restarting Sendmail,
an error message is displayed.
In order to resolve this problem, kill Sendmail before changing the PidFile option in the
sendmail.cf file. You can then start Sendmail after making the changes in the sendmail.cf file.
By doing this, the Pids will be written to the new file.
• Sendmail used to add other user's address in "Diagnostic-code" in warning messages under
abnormal conditions, when the server connections are reset in the data phase. The email
queue warning is returned to the sender with the Diagnostic-Code including an incorrect
address.
A workaround for this problem has been provided with this release. In such cases, no address
will be added in the Diagnostic-Code line in the warning messages.
Limitations
The following are the limitations and fixes in Sendmail 8.11.1:
• identd, the tool used by Sendmail to authenticate and find the user id for a given connection
established with a remote machine will be available in the future releases with appropriate
defect fixes.
