You could also change the order from "bind then hosts" to "hosts then bind" in resolv.conf.

This is done in /etc/host.conf

Then be sure to tell sendmail to look at the host file(sendmail.cf?) and edit /etc/hosts.

# default character set

#O DefaultCharSet=iso-8859-1

# service switch file (ignored on Solaris, Ultrix, OSF/1, others)

#O ServiceSwitchFile=/etc/service.switch

# hosts file (normally /etc/hosts)

O HostsFile=/etc/hosts

# dialup line delay on connection failure

#O DialDelay=10s

Check your nameservers (/etc/resolv.conf) recently my ISP changed my DNS

numbers without letting me know. The symptoms were, incredibly long boot

times with sendmail seeming to hang. Long time before I would get a

telnet prompt from remote location. Pine seem to be freezing on me it was

so slow.

Hope this helps,

I may have not correctly posted my last question, so I ask again.

I remember reading somewhere that some things cause the system to

take longer to boot...ie: sendmail takes a long time to load, etc.

It looks to me like you're trying to start things that require a

network connection before you have one established.
