I found this very strange, because sendmail is disabled in /etc/rc.conf. Trying to find out where/what happened i disabled qmail by removing the startup script (actually a link) and commented out the line for qmail in inetd.conf. I also modified /etc/mail/mailer.conf so it would point to sendmail. After this, starting up with the same rc.conf i get sendmail complaints about aliases/aliases.db. So sendmail is starting somehow... (and can't find the aliases.db, which i don't have because i run qmail) Deciding i had enough of it, i modified the files back enabled qmail and restarted the system again. Now the error at startup seems misteriously dissapeared.. I don't get it :( -- Ago To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
