Those of you that have Jaguar ...
1. Is gnutar included or is the same broken version of tar there?
2. Has Sendmail been fixed? (never could fix mine after 10.1.5)
Just wondering ...
Thanks.

I have gnutar on my machine, and I didn't install it manually, so I'm assuming that it was installed with Jagwyre.
I ran diff on gnutar and tar to compare them, and they are indeed different.

The version of tar in 10.1 is broken (badly). For example, it cannot do incremental backups.
I'm not sure how you can have both tar and gnutar? Which one gets called with the tar command?
When you "man tar" does it say "BSD Experimental - June 11, 1996" at the bottom or something newer (hopefully)? Tar in RedHat is dated Oct. 30, 2000.

tar is the 1996 piece of nonsense. Developer tools (I think) installs gnutar into /usr/bin, but lots of people 'round here will have a raw call to "tar" taken from /sw/bin (ie, via fink, which installs something it calls "gtar", which is Version 1.13.19-1 of gnu tar, and then links "gtar" to "tar").
So the short answer is "yep, the base 10.2 tar is still the same".
Cheers,
Paul

Just install the dev tools and you're all set.
Oh, and I have sendmail working fine on 10.2.1 after following the instructions in the O'Reilly article.

To clarify: yes, /usr/bin/tar is still the old BSD tar. However, there is also a /usr/bin/gnutar , which is different than /usr/bin/tar . I'm not sure if the dev tools need to be installed to get gnutar however, as I didn't check before I installed them.

So... what was the problem with sendmail?
I've had it up and running without problems since 10.0.whatever
