I just removed the sendmail package and reinstalled it by hand. Sendmail now
starts with out any issue. Not sure what the problem was, but I think it looks
ok now.

I was not able to reproduce this problem at all. Can you please try to get a logging output of what the init script does? This bug entry was in needinfo for some time. Closing due to user inactivity as "NOT A BUG". |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; CASPERXP; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: Last night I upgraded my Fedora Core 3 server to Fedora Core 4. When the upgrade was completed and the server rebooted, it hung on starting sm-client. When sendmail started, it said it was "Running as a fake daemon pid = 5585" and when I try to telnet to port 25, I get connection refused. Now I do find that sendmail is running with pid 5586. I have rebooted the server a number of times and stopped/started by hand also and still sendmail will not allow connections to localhost port 25. Does anyone have any idea what "Running as a fake daemon" means? Or what to do to correct this? Thank you, Shawn Example: [root@grumpy mail]# /etc/init.d/sendmail start Starting sendmail: Running as a fake daemon pid = 5585 [ OK ] Starting sm-client: Sendmail is running at: [root@grumpy mail]# ps -ef | grep sendmail root 5586 1 0 14:03 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q1h root 5654 2904 0 14:10 pts/0 00:00:00 grep sendmail [root@grumpy mail]# Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sendmail-8.13.4-2 How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Server with FC3 plus updates 2. Upgrade the server to FC4 from CD. 3. Additional info:
