4.7 Release hangs upon Sendmail startup.
Hey hey! When I install BSD on a colo machine (actually 2 machines) And after the installation I reboot the machine.. It hangs on the startup: Starting Daemons: sshd sendmail sendmail-mclient something like that.. when i disable it in rc.conf and start sendmail manually with sendmail -bd it wont come up.. shouldnt the mailserver come up with the default settings also? I was using the mini-iso from 4.7-STABLE (which actually seems to be 4.7-RELEASE) Anyone? gr, dwaas -- Gr, dwaasje [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

When I install BSD on a colo machine (actually 2 machines) And after the installation I reboot the machine.. It hangs on the startup: I've had problems like this when name resolution was broken. Confirm name resolution is 'happy'. Check the following... /etc/hosts /etc/resolv.conf no firewall issues blocking 53 You should be able to perform forward and reverse queries on your hostname.

Sendmail hanging on startup usually indicates a DNS problem --- sendmail puts a lot of effort into looking up the local host and the addresses of it's interfaces in the DNS in order to work out what it's FQDN should be and so forth. If there's a problem doing that, it will hang for what seems like a very long time indeed waiting for answers from the DNS. Actually it's only about 30s per query per nameserver listed in /etc/resolv.conf. Check /var/log/maillog --- there will be sufficient error messages logged in there to enable you to diagnose what exactly is broken and presumably how to fix it. Or let us see relevant portions of the log files if you need more help.

Re: Re[2]: 4.7 Release hangs upon Sendmail startup.
Note that it doesn't actually hang if Name resolution is broken, just atkes about 5 minutes to start the Daemons. Found this out last night the hard way. --Adam - Original Message - From: Metin de Dwaas [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Daxbert [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 6:12 AM Subject: Re[2]: 4.7 Release hangs upon Sendmail startup.
