Yes. The /etc/mail/access database was created using the standard
sendmail makemap using the becoming-upiquitous /etc/mail/Makefile:
------------cut--------------
all: virtusertable.db access.db domaintable.db mailertable.db
%.db : %
makemap hash $@ < $<
clean:
rm -f *.db *~
------------cut--------------
And those DB's are working with sendmail, but won't open with dbmmanage.
I've tried naming the dbm with and without the .db and it hasn't helped.
I tried ignoring the error from tie and not surprisingly that didn't help.
The most frustrating thing is that errstr (or $! in perlspeak) doesn't get
set to anything! Grumble.
