Hmmm. You're running RHL 9.0. Looks like Redhat didn't include the
vacation component of sendmail.

Nope. That's the man page (in Japanese nonetheless) for the vacation
program (that's not included with the distribution). I suspect this is
something that Redhat didn't clean out of their distribution.

I'll see what more I can dig up on that program. I seem to remember a
system vulnerability being posted about it a while ago too. But I need
to do some more research.
