FW: Sendmail not using NIS alias files

[Brian D. McGrew]

One fix I found to this problem is

O AliasFile=nis:mail.aliases in each sendmail.cf file

:b!

Subject: Sendmail not using NIS alias files

I posed about this once before and never saw a response; hopefully
someone knows :-)

I'm using NIS and sendmail is fine on all my Solaris boxes but on Linux
it doesn't seem to want to consult my NIS alias file.  On Solaris if I
'mail brian', it gets redirected to my alias; but on Linux if I 'mail
brian' it gets delivered locally.

What am I missing?  What do I need to do to make sendmail consult the
NIS alias files???

Thanks

:b!
