It looks like it hangs while trying the load the sendmail and sendmail-client daemons. It eventually boots after 20 minutes or so. I tried disabling sendmail but it still boots very slow. The initial bootup right after install was fine but after a few minutes and a restart it would never boot the same again. The only thing I could think of is that it might be looking for a dns server which I do not have. any suggestions? 2) I don't know if this is related to the above issue or not but when I try to log into ssh the client on two separate machines would timeout waiting for a connection to the server unless I change the server response timeout on the client to 120 seconds then and only then would the client (Winscp, Putty) connect. Sorry about all the lame questions but I've been out of touch for a while and just trying to get my feet wet again. Thanks in advance, Kevin
