This check analyzes the configuration of smrsh (Sendmail Restricted Shell). Smrsh limits the set of programs from the ~/.forward file that Sendmail can run. The smrsh must be declared in the /etc/sendmail.cf file. The smrsh allowed programs must reside in smrsh special directory /usr/adm/sm.bin. Use the name list to list allowed programs for this check.
