I did both this and took Scott's advice (to leave my machine name off
the localhost line) and the sendmail and sm-client now start just fine
(fast).

I couldn't find any sata drivers from nVidia, just video drivers.

However, I did notice that when I put a new sata drive in to replace
the defective one, smartd was happy and quick once again.  I thought
maybe there was a bad entry in the smartd.conf file, but that drive
isn't in there at all (I'll be adding it once it passes a preliminary
badblocks screen - so far so good).

The new drive is a WD320 - a little smaller (and cheaper), but it
seems to be running quite a bit better already....
