	Why isn't that the default.

RedHat comes with a sendmail startup script.  sendmail isn't run by
the Athena portion of Linux-Athena.

In Linux-Athena 4.2, the athena-rc package contained a patch for the
sendmail.init script.  This patch made sendmail run without the -bd
option by default.  In 5.2, the sendmail.init script changed, so the
patch didn't work any more and it was removed from the athena-rc
package.

Still, I think the patch was a good idea.  linux-dev people: Any
objections to me adding this to the athena-rc sendmail trigger?

config=/etc/sysconfig/sendmail
mv -f ${config} ${config}.orig &&
sed -e 's.DAEMON=yes.DEMON=no.' < ${config}.orig > ${config}

Have a nice day,
Sal.
