Name
confSBINDIR
Synopsis
Programs that should be executed only by root
are considered
"root-oriented.”
Among those programs are editmap,
makemap, mailstats, and
praliases. Such programs are installed in a
directory whose name is defined by the confSBINDIR
macro. In general, this macro is correctly defined for you in your
devtools/OS directory, but if you wish to
install one or more of those programs in a different location, you
can do so like this:
define(`confSBINDIR', `/opt/mail/sbin')
Here, we have defined the appropriate macros to force installation of the root-oriented programs in the /opt/mail/sbin directory. Naturally, this directory must be properly created ahead of time.
Note that -E DESTDIR (See this section) can be used to relocate all installation directories.
