Oddly, "looks like" is the operative phrase.  It actually doesn't.  The
makemap program automatically appends the .db to the target so the command:

  makemap hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access

doesn't hose you, although I usually do it from w/in the /etc/mail dir using
"makemap hash access < access"

Never tried it, but doing "makemap hash /etc/mail/access.db <
/etc/mail/access" might result in access.db.db.  Or not. <g>

Happy turkey day everyone (well, everyone that participates anyway).  One
thing I'm thankful for is guys like JF and a great support group like this
list...
