Remote listening of sendmail in "Secure by Default"

Hello all-

I just installed Solaris 10 11/06 edition. I selected the option to enable "Secure by default" so that the only daemon listening for remote connections is SSH.

I would now like to enable sendmail to listen to remote connections as well, but cannot figure out how to change it's configuration to enable listening on an interface other than the loopback.

Any ideas?

Thanks-

John

Discovered the answer:

You need to set the value for config/local_only as specified at http://blogs.sun.com/gbrunett/?entry=solaris_secure_by_default_part2

The commands I used to accomplish this were:

# svccfg -s network/smtp:sendmail setprop config/local_only = false

# svcadm refresh sendmail

# svcadm restart network/smtp

Hope this might help somebody else.

Cheers-

John
