Source version is 1.5.3.

If I do a make release the build fails attempting to execute sendmail.  Here
is my output from 'make release':
------------
install  -c -o root -g wheel -m 644  /home/wcuddy/netbsd/src/usr.bin/ssh/../../crypto/dist/ssh/ssh_config /home/wcuddy/netbsd/dst/etc/ssh.conf

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
