I suppose it's all related to the fact that I don't have a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), but I have not been able to find a simple method to allow sendmail to operate as the "local message manager" without having a FQDN -- and not complain about it. I've skimmed the 180k '/usr/share/sendmail/cf/README' and 'man sendmail' and a few .cf files. There must be a simple way to have a "development' machine that's on a private LAN which has internet access and DNS via a router, but is not allocated an FQDN. When I wasn't running 'inetd' everything was fine, but I'd like those services (ftp, Samba's swat, etc.) to be available to the other LAN machines. I also get the 'sendmail sleeping' message when the machine is booting because it can't find its FQDN. Can anyone help?
