Re: [cobalt-users] sendmail - RaQ4-All-Security-2.0.1-16402.pkg

[denial <lists@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I upgraded a customer server and received the same problem with no 
descriptive error message. I then tried a manual upgrade through the Sun 
Cobalt Knowledge base:

http://cobalt-knowledge.sun.com/cgi-bin/kbase.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_sid=KrjXTTGg&p_lva=&p_refno=030304-000000&p_created=1046790860&p_sp=cF9ncmlkc29ydD0mcF9yb3dfY250PTEwNzUmcF9wYWdlPTE*&p_li=

This gave a more descriptive error then a further /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail 
stop (hit a few times to make sure) then a start showed me a user had added 
duplicate entries into virtusertable through non case sensitive users when 
the server can handle that (e.g. someone had added "Test" and "test" as an 
alias for one account). I cleared this through the Web GUI then ran the 
installation from pkg and it went ok. Sendmail probably tries to rebuild 
the mail databases through the upgrade but barfs on it if there is a 
duplicate entry.

BTW - I didn't get around to checking whether the server admin had installed
<http://ftp.cobalt.sun.com/pub/packages/raq4/eng/RaQ4-All-System-2.0.1-13993.pkg>RaQ4-All-System-2.0.1-13993.pkg 
since that should fix duplicate entries. May want to check that as well.
