Description Roman Žilka 2017-06-07 11:41:26 UTC

The editmap utility in sendmail seems to support the "-v" cmdline option (editmap/editmap.c:163), but the option is not mentioned in the utility's "usage" output or its manpage.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sendmail-8.14.7-5.el7

Comment 2 Roman Žilka 2017-06-07 12:31:11 UTC

Furthermore, besides its own manpage the editmap utility (which is a new addition in the distribution of sendmail in RHEL) is not mentioned in any manpage which belongs to the sendmail SRPM. Nor is it mentioned in the PDF documentation in sendmail-doc.rpm (op.pdf).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sendmail-8.14.7-5.el7
sendmail-doc-8.14.7-5.el7

Comment 3 Roman Žilka 2017-06-12 13:15:02 UTC

Correction: it seems that the parameter "-v" is recognized by editmap, but has no effect.

Comment 5 Tomáš Hozza 2019-12-06 16:09:25 UTC

Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 7 entered the Maintenance Support 1 Phase in August 2019. In this phase only qualified Critical and Important Security errata advisories (RHSAs) and Urgent Priority Bug Fix errata advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available. Other errata advisories may be delivered as appropriate.

This bug has been reviewed by Support and Engineering representative and does not meet the inclusion criteria for Maintenance Support 1 Phase. If this issue still exists in newer major version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, it has been cloned there and work will continue in the cloned bug.
