Subject: Q4.16 -- How do I find sendmail's version number?
Date: August 2, 1999
Updated: July 19, 2000
Updated: December 28, 2001
To find out which version is actually running, from without, telnet to the
SMTP port (port 25). The daemon usually announces its name and version
number, as in
thishost% telnet that.host 25
Trying IP_addr...
Connected to that.host.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 that.host ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.1/8.12.1; Fri, 28 Dec 2001 11:39:34 -0800
QUIT
To query a binary on your local host, the following command should display
its version number, along with some extra configuration information,
possibly including the configuration version number:
% echo \$Z | /usr/sbin/sendmail -bt -d0
Version 8.12.1
Compiled with: MAP_REGEX LOG MATCHGECOS MIME7TO8 MIME8TO7 NAMED_BIND
NETINET NETUNIX NEWDB NIS QUEUE SCANF SMTP USERDB XDEBUG
============ SYSTEM IDENTITY (after readcf) ============
(short domain name) $w = knecht
(canonical domain name) $j = knecht.Sendmail.ORG
(subdomain name) $m = Sendmail.ORG
(node name) $k = knecht.Sendmail.ORG
========================================================
ADDRESS TEST MODE (ruleset 3 NOT automatically invoked)
Enter <ruleset> <address>
> 8.12.1
%
Adjust the pathname as needed; /usr/lib and /usr/sbin are the most common
locations.

Subject: More on sendmail
This is from the CERT website:
«IBM Corporation
The AIX operating system is vulnerable to the sendmail
issues discussed in releases 4.3.3, 5.1.0 and 5.2.0. »
Does this mean that versions of AIX prior to 4.3.3 are
not affected? I'm running AIX 4.3.2 and sendmail
8.8.8 on two servers.
The CERT annoucement goes on to say:
«A temporary patch is available through an efix
package which can be found at
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/sendmail_efix.tar.Z
IBM will provide the following official fixes:
APAR number for AIX 4.3.3: IY40500 (available approx.
03/12/2003)
APAR number for AIX 5.1.0: IY40501 (available approx.
04/28/2003)
APAR number for AIX 5.2.0: IY40502 (available approx.
04/28/2003)»
TIA.
