Re: [webmin-devel] Re: [webmin-l] Generics Table / Wild Card?

Yep, another person w/like issue here. Simply have forgotten all this in
sendmail over the years.

I tried to follow the below example, and add a new feature to the
Sendmail M4 Configuration, but it did not work.

Can someone who as done this, please put in the exact line added from:

Sendmail M4 Configuration -> Add new entyr of type -> select Feature
Next add parameter: `genericstable', `hash -o
/etc/mail/genericstable.db'

When saved it looked like this:

	FEATURE(`domaintable',``genericstable', `hash -o
/etc/mail/genericstable.db'')

And it did not work.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks, Dave
