Install Postfix and (if necessary) uninstall Sendmail 2. Run 'alternatives --auto mta' 2. Run 'man newaliases' Actual Results: fopen: No such file or directory Cannot open man page /usr/share/man/man1/sendmail.1.gz No manual entry for newaliases Expected Results: I would expect to see the manual page for Postfix's newaliases command. Additional info:
this is also happening on RHEL4U2
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
Verified on RHEL4U4 and got the exact same results. Since I no longer have any Fedora Core boxes readily available, I'm reassigning it to RHEL - 4.4. Thanks, Jeff
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Engineering for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Red Hat does not currently plan to provide this change in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux update release for currently deployed products. With the goal of minimizing risk of change for deployed systems, and in response to customer and partner requirements, Red Hat takes a conservative approach when evaluating enhancements for inclusion in maintenance updates for currently deployed products. The primary objectives of update releases are to enable new hardware platform support and to resolve critical defects. However, Red Hat will further review this request for potential inclusion in future major releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
