Configure to Use smrsh
After you have built and
installed srmsh (see the
preceding section), and after
you have populated its approved directory (see the
following section), you can include support for it
in your m4 configuration file
with the FEATURE(smrsh):
FEATURE(`smrsh') MAILER(`local')
Note that the FEATURE(smrsh) must precede the
local delivery
agent declaration. If these lines are reversed, the
following error will print when you run
Build:
*** FEATURE(smrsh) must occur before MAILER(local)
If you installed smrsh in a
location other than its default, you will need to
add an argument to the FEATURE(smrsh):[170]
FEATURE(`smrsh', `/usr/sbin/smrsh')
Use of smrsh is recommended by CERT, so you are encouraged to use this feature if possible.
[170] * You can also
achieve this by using the confEBINDIR compile-time macro, but
that macro is not favored because it also affects
the mail.local
program.
