If you intend to have sendmail support nisplus maps, you need to define NISPLUS in your Build m4 file (the use of nisplus aliases and other maps is determined by the /etc/nsswitch.conf file): APPENDDEF(`confMAPDEF', `-DNISPLUS') If NISPLUS is defined, the AliasFile option can be used to override the setting of the /etc/nsswitch.conf file: O AliasFile=nisplus:mail.aliases V8.7 and above Here, nisplus aliases will be used even if the /etc/nsswitch.conf file excludes them. See Section 24.9 for details about the AliasFile option. Note that NISPLUS is new beginning with V8.7 and not supported under earlier versions of sendmail . With NISPLUS defined, support is also included to declare and use nisplus -type maps (Section 23.2.2) with the K configuration command. If you are running a precompiled sendmail binary, you can use the -d0.1 debugging command-line switch (-d0.1) to determine if NISPLUS support is included (if it appears in the list, support is included). |
