 I reread the whole thread, till now we focused on mail program, but 
 segfault came just after date command, maybe we just looked in the 
 wrong direction...

Yeah, I thought that at first. Except for the error sending message
line and that changing to mailx works properly.
 
 Do you have all partitions mounted at the time local runs, 
 are /usr /var /lib ... all mounted and accessible by then?

Yep - only have a /, /boot and a swap

 permission problem? So who is the user running the script?...

root during boot

Thanks,
John

 No go. Just for review, here's a few lines from local.start.

 source /etc/profile
 /usr/bin/date | /usr/bin/mutt -s System restarted [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Now, the error message

 Error sending message, child exited 1 ().
 /etc/conf.d/local.start: line 15: 19174 Done
