The sendmail problem that were printed to stderr went away
after I created a new 5.3 sendmail.cf; with dhcpd problems,
mail can't get to my private servers so I have it re-routed
to ns1.thought.org.
I'll add the -d flag to my rc.conf; are you using the latest
version of the dhcp-server from ISC or something other?
I looked for a 'debug' flag on the man page and didn't see it.
What should I loook for in th logfile? or will it be
obvious :-)
thank,
gary
