# ifconfig lo0
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
(lo0 looks unconfigured to me)
# sockstat | grep :25
root sendmail 7371 3 tcp4 *:25 *:*
root sendmail 7371 5 tcp6 *:25 *:*
(that looks fine to me)
# ls -la /usr/libexec/sendmail/
total 676
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 30 21:03 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 1536 Mar 30 21:03 ..
-r-xr-sr-x 1 root smmsp 669788 Mar 30 21:03 sendmail
(looks OK to me, too)
# mount | grep /usr
/dev/aacd0s1f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
(Looks normal to me, too)
Thanks
