No worries here, postinstall complained about it.
The thing is that I am using user from netbsd-4 on a netbsd-3 update, therefore, since sendmail has been dropped, I dont want to put the smmsp in my NIS...
This is an old box, and I think I will soon update it to 4 when the release gets done ;) IT s a slow mchine I dont want to build and spend a lot of time just for a beta :-p
Thank you ;)
