Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, Mark Murray had to walk into mine and say: > Hi > > My sendmail keeps on dying with the following errors (Actually, it > does not totally die, it just stops answering on port 25): > > Jan 11 14:56:38 grunt sendmail[11238]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): getrequests: accept: Bad address > > I have NIS enabled in the machine - there seems to be connection, because > I also get lots of > > Jan 11 14:56:53 grunt ypbind[412]: select: Bad address > > Any ideas? I could swear I wrote the other day that when people report problems like this they should provide lots and lots and lots of details. For example, is this really a 3.0-current machine, and if so, how current? What else is running? Are you using virtual interfaces? Is the machine multi-homed? Did this start all of a sudden or has it been happening all along? I mean it people: I'm getting really tired of people posting stuff that just says "Hey: this doesn't work! How do I fix it?" without givine _ANY_ kind of useful information whatsoever. (Sadly, I get the same thing at work too.) -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager, Master of Unix-Fu Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ============================================================================= "It is not I who am crazy; it is I who am mad!" - Ren Hoek, "Space Madness" =============================================================================
