An update - with some info from Ben Reser on the update-alternatives script, I found that the sendmail package was actually correct. Since the alternatives system now accounts for mta's, each mta's binary is named with a .<mta> extension (for example, postfix's binary would be sendmail.postfix). This system requires an update to be run whenever a new package is installed for a certain 'alternative'. Part of this update was handled properly by sendmail's RPM install script, but part was omitted. For more information check here: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/howtos/mdk-rpm/advanced.html#ALTERNATIVES I ran 'update-alternatives --auto mta' and this made the correct symlinks from the /etc/alternatives/mta* files to the binaries the system is expecting. However, I'm still having problems with the sendmail-8.12.1-6mdk package. When I start up sendmail using /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail, it seems to hang. If I hit "ctrl-c", it finishes starting, and sendmail seems to be running and it works normally. Thoughts? Peter -- Peter R. Wood - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://prwdot.org/
