We just upgraded our Tru64 Unix from V5.1A to V5.1B pk5. Everything went fine, with one quirk. We have a sendmail alias set up to run a perl script for any inbound e-mails to a particular account. After the upgrade, this stopped working. The specific directory path to the script is ~vlink/Script/myscript.pl. As anyone knows who has tried troubleshooting these types of problems, it's a real pain. But the light bulb finally went off when I tried sending an e-mail locally on the machine to this account and I got additional information. The message was that it couldn't find the directory ~vlink/script/myscript.pl. (Note the changing of the case-sensitivity from /Script to /script.) I got it working by renaming the directory from /Script to /script, but this seems really odd to me! Definitely the aliases file has not been changed, and it's using the /Script directory (upper-case). Anyone have a clue what's going on? The sendmail we're running after the upgrade is 8.11.1. I'm not sure if, during the Tru64 upgrade, if it also upgraded sendmail. I wouldn't have thought this would happen, but could be wrong! Thanks and regards, Chris
