I compiled gdbm under 386bsd >( the test-programs showed no problems with this ) and compiled sendmail >with -DGDBM ( and IDA too, of course ). Sounds like gdbm may be doing some added gratuitous locking for you that interferes with sendmail. Try using the sdbm package instead. A recent copy is on uxc.cso.uiuc.edu in pub/sdbm.tar.Z . Should you decide to dig deeper and locate the problem with gdbm, I'd appreciate getting diffs of the changes. /pbp -- Freedom is a family value. Ski Colorado. --Paul Pomes (1992)
