Created attachment 781775 [details] patch Description of problem: A bug in the config parsing leads to a endless loop when it encounters queue groups defined in the cf. Fixed upstream in 5.6 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.5-44 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. define sendmail queue group in sendmail.cf eg: cd /etc/mail; add to sendmail.mc define(`QUEUE_DIR', `/var/spool/mqueue/q*')dnl QUEUE_GROUP(`mqueue', `F=f, I=1m, R=10')dnl make && make restart 2. attempt to start snmpd Actual results: It hangs. Expected results: It should start. Additional info: Patch is back ported from 5.6 and appears to fix the bug, allowing snmpd to start when sendmail queue groups are defined.
