There are newer RPMS for bind P5 as far as i know that take care of yet
an additional exploit found. I would sugget you visit www.isc.org and
check that out.
As far as sendmail is concerned the restart wont work as long as there
are multiple instances of sendmail running, if there is only one, then
the restart will work. Notice if you do a stop, then look at the ps,
there may be more running, and doing another stop will stop that
additional sendmail process. You must stop until they are all dead, then
the restart will work, as well as the start.
