Sendmail on rh73, rh9 and fc1 didn't use alternatives
for /etc/pam.d/smtp. It was a real file. That was the problem with the
first sendmail update we came out with, it used alternatives for that
file and the proper symlink wouldn't get automatically created. In the
latest update, we reverted to the previous functionality of having the
package create a real /etc/pam.d/smtp file.
