I am also having problems with sendmail configuration on my machine. I
suppose it's all related to the fact that I don't have a fully qualified
domain name (FQDN), but I have not been able to find a simple method to
allow sendmail to operate as the "local message manager" without having
a FQDN -- and not complain about it. I've skimmed the 180k
'/usr/share/sendmail/cf/README' and 'man sendmail' and a few .cf files.
There must be a simple way to have a "development' machine that's on a
private LAN which has internet access and DNS via a router, but is not
allocated an FQDN. When I wasn't running 'inetd' everything was fine,
but I'd like those services (ftp, Samba's swat, etc.) to be available to
the other LAN machines.
I also get the 'sendmail sleeping' message when the machine is booting
because it can't find its FQDN.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Doug
