I suppose that the person who originally asked about this uses the old
shadow format in /etc/passwd file where 'x' is originally '*' and would
like to convert it to the new format. Look at the shadowutils

If you are using the sendmail that cocmes with Red Hat 5.0, you can edit the
sendmail.cf file and
locate the line calls "DM" (aligned left) and change it to :
DMfoobargaz.com
then restart sendmail (or restart your machine totally).

On a SCO system though you MUST have at least RAMSIZE+10% as when it
