In doing so, I set the sendmail daemon to start up when I boot. Unfortunately I must've had my mind elsewhere because I don't currently have sendmail installed (as far as I know) and so when it gets to trying to start up sendmail, the system freezes. What can I do to remedy this problem? I've tried to mount my FreeBSD / from Linux in order to change my rc.conf to fix the problem, but unfortunately I've found it impossible to do so. (I'm still very new at all of this) Thanks for your help, Jeremy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
