HPUX

Q:

Problems with line length in lex/yacc.

A:

See the FAQ for AIX.

Q:

What is the difference between the classes `hpux' and `hpux10'?

A:

In version 10 of HPUX, the file structure is reorganized to look more like SVR4. If you have an HPUX-10 system, the appropriate hardclass is hpux10 rather than hpux.

Q:

I set up the new sendmail but the configuration file doesn't work.

A:

There could be a frozen configuration file around. Try:

disable:

   hpux::

      /usr/lib/sendmail.fc
      

Q:

Why don't groups work in HPUX?

A:

HPUX uses the file `/etc/logingroup' not `/etc/group'. Make a link if you need to:

links:

  hpux::

     /etc/logingroup -> /etc/group

To encourage some cross-fertilization, here's a sanitized sendmail configuration script that I created for HPUX and HPUX10. (From David Masterson, posted to gnu.cfengine.help). David's script is nice since sendmail was the inspiration for cfengine's name.
