Hmm... I normally shoot for the main process and everything else resets. This 
works on SuSE, anyway. Same thing with apache.

By "mucking through" the rc files, did you perhaps mean /etc/rc.d/rc.sendmail 
restart ?  At least that's where slack has had it for several years.
Not trying to start a flame war here, but isn't it the same thing? 

Now for some of the networking stuff, I can see your point.  the easiest thing 
to do is to learn to use ifconfig and iwconfig from the command line.   But 
that's not a good way to do things for the average WinXP user who already 
thinks that *nix is too complex.
