I have had this error on my box show up ever since i installed 1.3ALPHA,
and it's only annoying now when i'm stuck using the console instead of X:
---cut here---
Dec 30 16:56:43 friction sendmail[11176]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): hash map
"Alias0": unsafe map file /etc/aliases: No such file or directory
---cut here---
This message shows up exeactly every half hour.
I ran a "touch /etc/aliases", but that didn't seem to work. anyone have an
idea how to fix this?

I'd also be interested to find out how i can make a specific program's
syslog entries make their own unique log files. for example, i'd like to
find a way to output all the syslog messages from sshd into a file
"sshd.log". I can see an easy way of doing this to be making an entry
"sshd.* /var/log/sshd.log" in /etc/syslog.conf, but this can't be done. am
i missing something? i can see how i can route all my mail errors to a
certain file, but that's because "mail.*" is built into syslog, "sshd.*"
isn't, and doesn't give you the option of adding these new
program-thingies.

thanks,
