sendmail......Send/Receive Mail

sendmail option(s)

PURPOSE

The sendmail command sends and receives electronic mail via the Internet. Users don’t actually access it directly; instead, friendlier front ends (like mail) are employed by users, and the messages are then sent to sendmail, which handles the actual mail transport.

Configuring sendmail can be a tricky business and is far too involved for this format. Check the online-manual pages or a sendmail text for further guidance.

sessreg......Sets Utmp/Wtmp Entries

sessreg option(s) username

PURPOSE

The sessreg command managed utmp/wtmp entries for xdm sessions. See the online-manual pages for a more detailed description.

-a Adds this session to utmp/wtmp. One of -a or -d must be set.
-d Deletes this session from utmp/wtmp. One of -a or -d must be set.
-l line-name Sets the line name of the entry. For terminal sessions, this is the final pathname segment of the terminal device filename (like ttyd0). For X sessions, it should be the local display name given to the user’s session (usually :0).
-u utmp-file Sets an alternate utmp file.
-w wtmp-file Sets an alternate wtmp file.
-x Xservers-file Sets the slot-number to be the number of lines in the ttys-file plus the index into this file where the line-name is found.
