Kevin,
Let me ask you? If I do that now, do you think it will have an effect on
other patches I installed. Should I force the install sendmail , then just
install all of them up the ladder from 16402??
I would just as soon go back to factory and wait for Sun's slow releases
then to have the problems I have been having with sendmail.
Thanks
Tom
