Then it is indeed a bug. I installed Fedora Core 1 about a week and a half ago and chose the 'Workstation' install. sendmail, the program, was installed as part of that selection. I didn't deselect any specific packages during the install. I got whatever was included in the 'Workstation' install. sendmail-cf was not included. > > On the other hand, if you installed sendmail in bits and pieces and did > not also install sendmail-cf then no, it's not a bug, it's "user error". > > You know what you did.

I would think that this needs to be corrected on a more "global" scale. However, before submitting a bug I am going to check one thing. What packages are included in the 'Workstation' install? I'll check for sendmail-cf and see if somehow the installation simply failed to install it. This will determine whether the bug is an installation bug, or a usability bug for the 'Workstation' install. The clarification on bug submissions are appreciated. Ian P. Thomas
