Solaris 8 System Administration Supplement

Changes to `DaemonPortOptions` Option

The following tables describe two new keys for the option and some specific values for one of the new keys, Modifier. To declare this option, use one of the following syntaxes. In the example, pair refers to key=value. For formatting purposes, the example includes two pairs. However, you can apply one or more pairs.

O DaemonPortOptions=pair,pair              # for the configuration file
-ODaemonPortOptions=pair,pair              # for the command line
define(`confDAEMON_OPTIONS',`pair,pair')   # note the revised name 
                                         # for m4 configuration

Note –

To avoid security risks, sendmail relinquishes its root permissions when you set this option from the command line.
