I have one linux box where I have this set up and all is working fine. I’m trying to set up another box for another location, and something is tripping up. Sendmail seems to be working fine – I can launch a sendmail command - /usr/sbin/sendmail –t <a href="mailto:email.address@blah">email.address@blah</a>, and the message sends and receives just fine. I also see this coming through my /var/log/messages, and all the information looks analogous to what is on the linux box that is working.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>However, when I try to do the rancid-run, there is no email message, and nothing shows up in /var/log/messages, so it’s as if sendmail didn’t even get called.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>My control_rancid file was modified to include the path, so instead of sendmail –t, it’s /usr/sbin/sendmail –t (I needed the full path on my first implementation).<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>There is no error message in the log files for rancid to indicate that it couldn’t find sendmail or anything like that.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>There is nothing to indicate that my /etc/aliases is incorrect. When I run newaliases, I see it do what it’s supposed to do.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I know I should probably run postfix or something else, but I’ve already got it working with sendmail on two other implementations, and not sure why this 3<sup>rd</sup> one won’t work. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I feel like it’s something simple within rancid that I may have forgotten, since sendmail doesn’t even seem to get called – did a diff on control_rancid with my other implementation – no difference. /etc/aliases is:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>rancid-admin-networking: rancid-networking<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>rancid-networking: my-email-address-here-for-testing<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks in advance,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Patty<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#0070C0'>Patty Luxton<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>President<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Antrac Nettwork Consulting, Inc<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><a href="mailto:pluxton@antracnetworks.com">pluxton@antracnetworks.com</a><o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>619.240.6209<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
