>Environment:
NetBSD-current built with MKSENDMAIL=no (no /usr/libexec/sendmail/* and other files)
>Description:
On startup, /etc/rc.d/sendmail issues a warning to the console:

 stat: /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail: stat: No such file or directory

This would appear to come from the following line, in the
sendmail_precmd function:

     68         _owner=$(stat -qf"${_owner_fmt}" /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail)

I have mailer.conf pointing to postfix, (and no sendmail binary at the
above path) so the magic variable assessment stuff in
check_need_sendmail ought to be deciding NO.

I'm therefore a little confused why sendmail_precmd is running at all.

>How-To-Repeat:
rm /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
/etc/rc.d/sendmail start
>Fix:
Conditionalise this stat on -x of the binary? (or -e?)
Conditionalise installation of rc.d/sendmail script on MKSENDMAIL?
Solve some other logic error that's causing sendmail_precmd to run
when it shouldn't?
