Hi There,

I notice that some packages have absolute paths hard coded into them.  In
this case it is pkgsrc/mail/sendmail (which has no maintainer), and has
several spots where /etc is used rather than /usr/pkg/etc.

Does anyone know if this is intentional?  I am willing to make a patch to
pkgsrc/mail/sendmail "pkg"ize the paths if that is the right thing to do.

Cheers,

Ben
