hi again, ...and now the output of # rcsendmail status works right: Checking for service sendmail: No process on the 7.2-host. as i told you, the old machine could be a little bit creppy...;-) have a nice day, daniel p.s. sorry for posting so much %( -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net
before moving to postfix, i also experienced this problem with sendmail.... it needed to be restarted twice before it could start a listener process on 25 ... and the best way to get it done was by explicitly defining the full path to the daemon.. that is.. /etc/init.d/sendmail restart --> twice.... i have only experienced this with SuSE 7.2 Pro.... good luck..

This sounds like a socket timeout problem. Usually it takes a few seconds to listen(2) on a socket again, before a "socket in use" is returned. The timings depend on the state of the socket (were there connections or not...).
defining the full path to the daemon.. that is..
You mean full path to the rc-script? I don't think that this is involved. Anyway, not really security relevant... oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.

well, that's strange, because i went for whole weekend without mail, after the process was restrarted to re-read the config file.. this was scary for me... a status check would show sendmail is running, but telnet to 25 brought back nothing..

here i meant that the full path to the /etc/init.d/sendmail script... the rcsendmail command didn't seem to work, even when u run it more than once...
Anyway, not really security relevant...
oki,
Steffen
