[rancid] Re: Issues with Sendmail using Rancid

[vishal.ud]

@joel u were right :
so it turns out the script rancid_control which controls the flow of 
emails after a diff in the conf files , had a relative and not an 
absolte path to sendmail . simply subsitituting it with 
/usr/sbin/sendmail did the trick :d wohhoooo #rancid is now online !!! 
thanks guys for ur help ..rancid is truly a brilliant tool ;)
