219320 2004-03-01 10:23:00 I have Redhat linux 9 installed on two networked PCs both Dual boot with Win98 on seperate partitions. Still a newbie but loving (hating) the learning curve.
Both PCs stall during the boot process on linux when activating sendmail. I seem to recall some mention of a solution but haven't been able to find it. Can anyone assist?

219321 2004-03-01 10:30:00 Sendmail is a server program and you are making both of them capable of it! mikebartnz (21)
219322 2004-03-01 10:50:00 There's a few ways to do it.

The easiest way is to run:
redhat-config-services

Stop sendmail, amongst others (Kudzu probably too.. Hardware Detecion).

If you post a list here of the apps that are loading, myself or another user can help tell you what you may or may not want to load :-)

Hope this helps

219323 2004-03-01 11:19:00 A quick way of listing all the services status is to open a console window, su - to root (don't forget the hyphen) and enter in chkconfig --list. You can either highlight the output with the mouse and copy it into your post by clicking the middle mouse button (scroll wheel), or do this to generate a text list:
chkconfig --list >> /home/{your_username}/Desktop/services
This will produce a text file sitting on your desktop called "services" - open it and copy and paste the contents here.

To immediately whack sendmail on the head, you can whilst su - to root enter in:
chkconfig --level 345 sendmail off
