I'm trying to do something that is admittedly a bit foolish. I'm trying to get the sendmail RPM from Redhat-7.3 working on my ancient Caldera box. There's really not much Caldera left in it, as I've been upgrading it piecemeal to assorted Redhat RPMs for a while now, but it was last an amalgam of COL-2.4 & 3.1.

At any rate, I got sendmail-8.11.6-27.73 RPM installed, and running the sendmail binary manually does work. Its just the initscript that came with it that fails to work. If i run "/etc/init.d/sendmail start" i get:
Starting sendmail: Usage: daemon program


I can start sendmail manually with "sendmail -bd -q1h", and it backgrounds itself just fine, so its something wonky in the initscript. Anyone have any suggestions on what might be wrong here?
