Hmmm, I'm not sure what's happening here: you may need to put some debug in the shell scripts to see where/why it's hanging. Here's what my iBook spits out just after these lines: Updating motd. sendmail: execing /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail: No such file or directory sendmail: execing /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail: No such file or directory Initial powerpc initialization:.
