[rancid] Re: RANCID Log Messages: "sendmail: not found" with no mailed diffs

[Traiano Welcome]

I'm using Ubuntu based on lenn/sid, so this was installed using the 
debian package management system - it doesn't look like a config.log was 
kept ... Is there a way to check this on debian like systems?
