Any idea why an otherwise perfectly operating system running the ACID distro would hang while booting for: sendmail - approx 6 min sm-client - approx 3 min They both eventually load (green "OK") but it just makes booting take somewhere south of 10 minutes. The started when I loaded the latest distro (as of about 3 weeks ago). Any clues or advice on what details I could add other than what's below? Thanks, Bob KK6RQ Using simpleusb No modifications other than setting levels.
This is usually indicative of your DNS not operating properly. Sendmail and it's client tend to want DNS running so it can resolve addresses. Regards, Paul _______________________________ Paul J.

Check /etc/resolv.conf and ensure the DNS is defined and operational Check /etc/mail/sendmail.cf for FQDN that is not being resolved Check /etc/host for local definitions. The major hangs on boot is typically DNS related so that's where you could start… Just my 2 cents… good luck!!! _______________________________ Paul J.

All you need to do is edit: /etc/hosts Put the name of your server in the local definition....like this: # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 YOURSERVERNAME localhost.localdomain localhost ::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6 Then if you ever need to reboot, everything will be A ok...
