Re: Can't start sm-client with systemctl

Just to deepen the "mystery".....

Just the other day I had created a fresh F25 VM to play with the Cinnamon desktop.  It did
not have sendmail installed...  So, I just installed and tried things out...

This was just after the install...

 [root@f25cinn ~]# systemctl status sm-client
● sm-client.service - Sendmail Mail Transport Client
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/sm-client.service; disabled; vendor preset:
disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)

I made no changes to any configuration files

[root@f25cinn ~]# systemctl enable sm-client
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/sm-client.service →
/usr/lib/systemd/system/sm-client.service.

[root@f25cinn ~]# systemctl start sm-client

[root@f25cinn ~]# systemctl status sm-client
● sm-client.service - Sendmail Mail Transport Client
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/sm-client.service; enabled; vendor preset:
disabled)
   Active: active (running) since Wed 2016-12-14 12:02:48 CST; 3s ago

Hummm........   Failed to read.....

Now, the mystery is that I don't get that "error" or "warning" on my 2 system which are
upgrades from F24 to F25.  I only get that message on a fresh install.

Odd.....   But things appear to be working just fine in all cases...
