Hi,
I'm sorry if this is a popular question and I do seem to remember reading
somewhere
about some of the causes of this, but no I'm stumped! I have two machines
exhibiting
the same symptoms- I have version 2.2.6 with a custom kernel...theses
problems weren't evident until after
I played with /etc/ttys and installed more virtual terminals. This machine
boots and
then takes a lifetime to load sendmail...after finally getting sendmail
loaded, it proceeds until
it reaches Local Package Initialization: where it takes an even longer
time...just sitting.
Then some errors are reported, i don't have them verbatim (sorry) but they
are socket
command on non-socket and something to do with Getpeername errors...
The other machine has a fresh install of 2.2.6 on it and it's sendmail
takes forever too.
These are surprising behaviors to me, knowing that I haven't made any major
changes or typos
in the config files that I *did* edit...(mainly /etc/ttys and /etc/rc.conf)
Both these machines are on an internal net using 192.168.0.* as IP numbers,
ie: the one
with all the problems is 192.168.0.1 and the newly installed but still slow
sendmail init
system is 192.168.0.2- I have run 2.2.5 on other machines and experienced
the same problem
once with sendmail but none of the problems I have now.
Also it should be of note, I can't ping even localhost, which is listed in
/etc/hosts or the other machine
and I know the physical connection between the two is working!
Help, I'm beginning to think I haven't the cerebral power to truly
understand this fine OS!!!! *laugh*
seriously, thanks in advance for any help and sorry this ended up being a
novel!
-Brian
