Description
When building with the --without-sendmail option, there is a bug which results in the following error in the system logs:
Can't find "no". Trying a execlp("sendmail"): No such file or directory
Can't exec no: No such file or directory
Also see: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.fcron.general/44
As a workaround, the following command will eliminate the above error:
sed -i s/no/"\/bin\/true"/ /etc/fcron.conf

yes, fixed, thanks for closing. I left the two fcron tickets open for a while in case there would still be issues.

Got reply from Thibault and he has implemented a fix based on the fixes i provided him. Need to prepare a patch file for BLFS. I'll append the upstream diff.

Patch added and modified to use the upstream fixes in 10997.

I guess that this should be fixed in r10957
