Install sendmail-cf package.  Also, default sendmail.mc file as 
distributed in FC (and all other Red Hat distributions) already includes 
cf.m4, so you don't need to include it from command line.  "m4 
sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf" will do the job.  If you rebuilt your 
sendmail.mc from scratch and don't have include statement for cf.m4 in 
it, than of course you'll need to include it from command line as 
described in the tutorial.
