How do I allow users to execute programs in their .forward file?

For NetMAX 2.x and earlier

NetMAX uses sendmail's restricted shell for processing mail. This is generally considered to be more secure. However, if a system administrator wishes to allow certain programs to be executed, a symbolic link must be created in /usr/libexec/sm.bin to each of the programs the administrator allows in users' .forward files. For more information on sendmail's restricted shell, type 'man smrsh' and press ENTER from the command line. Root access must be enabled and the login to use is 'root' to make the symbolic links.

For NetMAX 3.x - 4.0x

The instructions above apply. sm.bin is now located in /usr/adm/ however.

Please note: Possible binaries you may link in include vacation and autorespond.
