mail aliases

Hi

On one my of K460 server , 10.20 , I am getting this error when doing newaliases.

NIS map mail.aliases specified , but NIS is not running.

This server is not in any NIS domain neither I can find any entry in /etc/mail/aliases which point to this. No file named mail.aliases also.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Re: mail aliases

Hello,

If you have sendmail 8.9.3 installed through PHNE_18979, copy nsswitch.conf file from /usr/newconfig/etc to /etc. Modify the hosts: line to read files. Stop/Start sendmail (/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop/start)

Cheers!

Re: mail aliases

Thanks Chris. That was right on spot.
I forgot to look at /etc/nsswitchc.onf which was pointing to NIS somehow. Corrected that to point to only files. Now all well.

Thanks again.
