As part of debugging massive email failures for my local lab domain after our campus IS people changed from Solaris to Windows2000 for DNS last weekend, I had the occasion to change the name server entries in /etc/resolv.conf. I thought (wrongly it turns out) that I could just make the changes, and they would be picked up automatically. Is this sendmail remembering the name server list it got when it was started? Can I just send it a HUP and have it pick up the changes? I know that going down to single user and back to multiuser is sufficient, but is there a less intrusive way to force the changes to be recognized? I would like a procedure that worked globally for all processes, not just sendmail, if possible. TIA, Bud Dodson -- M. L.
