Hello Don, If you wish to disable it, login as root and at a command prompt type:
chkconfig --levels 2345 sendmail off OTOH, I have had a similiar problem, and I found that I had a static IP address, but no /etc/hosts entry pointing back to myself. Use your favorite editor to edit /etc/hosts and confirm there is a line for your server: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.x.x myserver.mydomain.com myserver The first line should always be there, modify the second line to your needs. The other time I had a similiar problem was due to a NIC driver not loading properly. If you can ping other servers, then that's not your problem. Regards, Stephan On Thu, 2002-03-07 at 06:42, D.
