There are two ways to fix this:
1. remove the entry for uk.ac.man from the table generated by c-nrs and
let the ftp system figure out the routing.
2. make a small change to chn/MAKE in the awk script for the janet channel
where it thinks that rules like
uk.ac.man.cs.ux uk.ac.man.cs.ux
can be taken care of by the "general rule" and thus doesn't generate a
sendmail rule for it. The problem is that a match for uk.ac.man is
found before the general rule is tried...
The change is simply to remove the two lines of code thus:
if ( $1 == $2 )
{ if ( $1 ~ /^uk\./ ) # general rule will catch this
break
printf "R$+@%s\t\t$@<$1@%s>%s.janet\n", $1, $1, $1
}
becomes:
if ( $1 == $2 )
printf "R$+@%s\t\t$@<$1@%s>%s.janet\n", $1, $1, $1
There is a catch with this: namely that (assuming your c-nrs program
generates an entry for every site in the nrs and not just the ones with
application relays) your sendmail.cf will become very large and may be
a bit slow. Probably not a problem with a Sequent Symmetry mind.
