To turn off Sendmail.

change directory "cd /etc/rc3.d"
use mv to rename the start up file for sendmail. Change XX to match the number used to start sendmail. i.e. mv S05sendmail K05sendamil  So S is to start the service at boot. the number is what order to start the service. K is to Kill at shutdown.

cd /etc/rc3.d/
mv SXXsendmail KXXsendmail

You still need your DNS settings.

Sendmail is trying to resolve your computers hostname via your DNS and the hosts.conf file. So if you use Google's 8.8.8.8 DNS server or any DNS server and you don't have a registered domain with a "A" record that matched your computer hostname sendmail will have to time out at start up.

If you are using DHCP to get an IP address then edit ifcfg-ethX and add or change this line DHCP_HOSTNAME="hostname" .  DHCP_HOSTNAME tells your dhcp server what name to use for the local DNS. So if you have a good router then this will work.

Use your text editor  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

So on my ACID install sendmail to set to start after the network gets an IP address. This is good. S10network S80sendmail

One other place to check.  Look in /etc/sysconfig/network:
Mark sure you(R) hostname appears in there as well.  It should look like this:

NETWORKING=yes
NETWORKING_IPV6=no
HOSTNAME=YOURHOSTNAME

Thanks!

 

Just put in:

; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
 
That should fix it!!

you DNS no-workee.

Please check the entries in /etc/resolv.conf
and make sure they are pointing to real,
working DNS servers.

I have 2 processes that hang for 2+ minuets when I reboot.

 

Starting sendmail:

Starting sm-client:

 

They eventually say OK then it continues to boot and all is ok.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks
