Here are the lines from rc.local that claim to invoke sendmail: if [ -f /usr/lib/sendmail -a -f /etc/sendmail.cf ]; then (cd /var/spool/mqueue; rm -f nf* lf*) /usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q15m; (echo -n ' sendmail') fi ' sendmail' is echoed on the console so the contents of the if are being executed. I have looked everywhere I could think of (/ /var/spool/mqueue /var/spool /var/tmp) for core files but can not find any. There are no messages in system logs. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate hearing them. Thanks in advance. -- Dan Ehrlich /Voice: +1 814 863 1142/FAX: +1 814 865 3176
