I just experienced the same problem. Sendmail tried to resolv my hostname but didn't find the loopback entry in my /etc/hosts file! *misteriously dissapeared* 127.0.0.1 MYHOSTNAME localhost.localdomain localhost ----- Original message ----- From: "Stephen W" <winstephen@xxxxxxxxx> To: "RH discussion" <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx>, "linux users" <linux@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2004 15:47:46 -0700 (PDT) Subject: slow to boot I have solved the problem getting comcast cable to work ... but now ... when the machine boots it hangs for a long time at: starting sendmail starting sm-client They eventually load, but it sure takes time. Is this related to something with the cable modem install? I do not use sendmail [yet - will it work with comcast?] What is sm-client?
