What I'm doing is swapping my old DNS server (emachines) for a heftier (HP Kayak). I did not have /usr/lcal/etc/dhcpd.conf on the new HP server configured correctly. I edited, KVM'ing between the old Emachines, and things got better: ping, for example. But ssh still took a *long* time. My hardware guy has swapped my DSL ethernet card about four times. Right now, things are back to the way they were and everything works. *This time* I've scp'd the dhcp.conf file over to this server, tao. In about an hour we're going to swap things back. (Of course, without DNS, thought.org vnishes. I expect to hear lots of angry email about couldn't-get-thru, but too bad. My hardware pal is going home fairly soon, and I can't do this solo So..) thanks fo your help. gary PS: My DNS stuff seemed ok. > > -- Gary Kline Seattle BSD Users' Group (seabug) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thought Unlimited Org's Alternate Email Site http://www.magnesium.net/~kline To live is not a necessity; but to live honorably...is a necessity. -Kant ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

It is probably set to 9. Change this value to 20 or so, and from /etc/mail, type make restart. View the end of your /var/log/maillog file by typing the following command, and post these results to the list: # tail -n 50 /var/log/maillog This will help us see if there is anything going on. Adding the output of 'date' at the time you ran the above command would help as well.

First we need to create a baseline...Do you get any error messages, or does sendmail just appear to hang? Can you ping from this machine? Do you have a firewall setup on the box?

Sendmail hand upon boot and restart
Folks, After a year I'm finally upgrading DNS servers, and having a bad time getting sendmail and dhcp to work. I may finally have dhcp woking on ns1.thought.org. ping works and my /var/log/maillog is filling up. But on tao.thought.org, sendmail refuses to start. Can anybody help me ith this? I'm swsapping out my Linksys NIC between my old DNS server and the new. Wih the 10/100 card in the old server, thinks work flwlessly; in the new they don't. Any ideas on what I need to configure, and hw? thanks, gary ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
