[Mailman-Users] smrsh error

[Dr. Bernd Zimmermann]

I have a similar problem with smrsh:

When I disable smrsh in sendmail all works fine,
but wiht smrsh I got a "local configuration error" mail
from sendmail.

In sendmail.mc smrsh is activated: FEATURE(smrsh,
`/usr/lib/sm.bin/smrsh')dnl

In /usr/lib/sm.bin/smrsh the link to wrapper is created like the
installation maual requires but it dont work.

I am using debian. In the INSTALL file is written not to use
/usr/lib/sm.bin because it is an error in debain.
Instead one should use /usr/admin/sm.bin, but this dont work
at all - because of config in sendmail.mc.

Why ?

Any hints ?? 

Kind regards,
Bernd
