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 -- Gary Kline Seattle BSD Users' Group (seabug) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thought Unlimited Org's Alternate Email Site http://www.magnesium.net/~kline To live is not a necessity; but to live honorably...is a necessity. -Kant _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
