This is from memory so.....
Depending on the system you are using, the /usr/share/sendmail-cf path
might be different. On BSD systems its someplace like /usr/lib. If you
don't have it anywhere on your system you may not have installed all
of sendmail. I think sendmail has a sendmail.cf RPM you need to install
as well.
HUP can be sent via kill or you can restart sendmail with
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart.
If the sendmail.cf file does not rebuild, you can do it by hand with m4:
m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf
