Users of recent Linux distributions may have to patch their cpio version 2.4.2
to be compliant with glibc 6 before being able to unpack these packets. See below.
cd /usr/src/sendmail-8.9.3/cf
cp -p ostype/linux.m4 ostype/linux.m4.yourname
bzip2 -d < /tmp/sendmail-8.9.3-cf-cpio-idcmu.bz2 | \
cpio -idcmu
# Or, for the gzipped version, ...
gzip -d < /tmp/sendmail-8.9.3-cf-cpio-idcmu.gz | \
cpio -idcmu

I *strongly* recommend that you also install xaliases-2.2.
cd /usr/src or cd /usr/local/src
tar -zxvf /tmp/xaliases-2.2.tar.gz
cd xaliases-2.2
less INSTALL
Starting with version 8.9.1, I have moved the sendmail config files, /etc/mail/sendmail.cf included, to /etc/mail.
This means you ought to recompile sendmail, see one of these... "/tmp/sendmail-8.9.3-elijah-havedone.txt" (normal PPP-connected Linux box) or "/tmp/sendmail-8.9.3-ruth-havedone.txt" (null-client and no available nameserver) or "/tmp/sendmail-8.9.1a-havedone.txt" (normal PPP-connected Linux box) for how I have done it on my systems. Your mileage may of course vary, especially if you are not using bind-8.1.2 -- in which case you must omit lines referencing /usr/bind/include, /usr/bind/lib etc from the above "havedone"-files. You may want to study this "/tmp/sendmail-8.9.3-README" or this "/tmp/sendmail-8.9.1a-README" first!
One or several of the above "havedone" - files mention db-2.7.5-havedone.txt. You may want to consult it too. You may also want to consult bind-8.1.2-havedone.txt.
There is also a FAQ that you may want to study.
In order to prevent your www browser from unpacking and displaying some of the
below files, a .bin ending has been added to some of the file-names.
Simply re-name the file so the .bin ending is removed during the fetch!
Either just grab the binary and unpack it in place then change it's permissions:
mv /usr/bin/cpio /usr/bin/cpio.orig
gzip -d < cpio.gz > /usr/bin/cpio
chmod 755 /usr/bin/cpio
mkdir -p /usr/src/cpio-2.4.2.log
cp -p cpio-2.4.2.tar.gz \
