[SOLVED] /etc/aliases.db
During installation the file /etc/aliases.db gets modified, however /etc/aliases remains unmodified. Where does this file come from? What does it contain?

Best Regards,
Yves

RE: /etc/aliases.db
maybe a newaliases is executed - so the aliases.db is just built again from aliases...

Can someone confirm this? Or does it get created from somewhere else (i.e. using another file)?

Best Regards,

RE: /etc/aliases.db
The source code should be able to confirm or disprove it.

there's a config variable CMD_NEWALIASES and this is called during setup - so as long as you don't change this, the single command "newaliases" is executed during the setup.
