Hosts is fine, I think, it just has the 127.0.0.1 entry which I assume is all I
need since my only networking is a dial-up PPP connection.
I played around with it for a bit though and at one point I tried reinstalling
the sendmail RPM's, and the rpm command gave a failed dependency message
saying sendmail conflicts with postfix. Oops, guess there was a downside to
choosing 'Everything' during installation (I prefer to install everything and
then remove packages I'm sure I don't need afterward).
I removed the postfix package and reinstalled the sendmail packages, and now it
shuts down fine. :)

Ah, a newer version since I dl'ed my updates just a couple days ago. :)
Thanks, I have 6mdk now and it works fine.
