Been having email server issues... I tried to send this two days ago: I did a quick Google search on this and found the problem is rather popular there. It keeps pointing back to your /etc/inittab file and your X server. However, Honeywall does not use X since it does not have a nice pretty gui with windows and everything... unless you changed something in the setup. Have you messed with trying to setup an X server on this box?
