I just checked two 5.4 servers running sendmail that came with FreeBSD
they both have the /var/log/debug.log just there is no entires in the
debug.log on the second server. However it just mails the FreeBSD daily
reports to the other server.
Can anyone else check there FreeBSD servers 5.4 running sendmail and
have this debug.log?
-rw------- 1 root wheel 0 May 8 2005 debug.log
same date as I made the server
excerpt from the syslog.conf
*.=debug /var/log/debug.log
your right there is an entry for the debug in the syslog.conf
however Im pretty sure this file is default FreeBSD
