Subject: sendmail -bi
Having just gone beyond the point-of-no-return and installed exim on all
of our machines INCLUDING our main mailhub...

I now discover that the standard Sun YP makefile calls "sendmail -bi" as
part of it's sequence. I now find I can't rebroadcast YP files because
of this.

     -bi            Initialize the alias database.


Now admittedly I don't really NEED the aliases file to be broadcast over
YP any more, but the standard "ypinit" stuff seems to set up a makefile
that includes it.

Any ideas, anyone?
