Sendmail 8.8.3 & makemap questions

[Adam Shand <larry@earthlight.co.nz>]

Hi,

Been trying to get sendmail 8.8.3 on a debian 1.1 (off the infomagic cd)
box running.  It seems to work yet when I try and makemap our mailertable
file it gives me an error, with this line in the sendmail.cf:   
Kmailertable hash  /etc/mailertable

phoenix(larry)# makemap hash mailertable.db < mailertable
makemap: cannot open type hash map mailertable.db

phoenix(larry)# makemap hash mailertable < mailertable
makemap: cannot open type hash map mailertable.db

Both of these produce a 0 size mailertable.db

Yet when I do a makemap dbm with the *same* line in sendmail.cf (ie. hash)
it seems to work!!!

I don't understand why makemap dbm seems to make a hash file...

Please help.

Thanks,

Adam.
