I can make LINUX fall over! :-( I have installed SendMail and set it up from YaST however, somewhere during the installation/setup I was asked for my modem which I supplied as TTY1 rather than TTS01. So SendMail now tries to get mail from TTY1 ! Which after several tries logs you out and won't let you log in again (never gets to the password, just keeps prompting login) and workstations are unable to log in. I have tried un-installing/re-installing SendMail in the hope of correcting the Modem Entry, but it doesn't ask me for the device any more. I have searched through the config files but can't find where the association is held. SendMail is uninstalled at present - any ideas please? Adrian Wells
The `real' configuration file for sendmail is /etc/sendmail.cf On Mon, 5 Jun 2000, adrian.wells wrote:

I don't ever recall seeing anything in Sendmail itself about modems. Just a thought has setup used the information to create a link from /dev/modem to /dev/tty1 ? If it has delete /dev/modem and make a new link ln -s /dev/ttys0 /dev/modem or use the linuxconf (under miscellaneous services) Simon
