Description of problem: Users that rely on spamc/spamd for mail delivery might face silent mail delivery failure if spamd is not running when sendmail attempts to deliver them e-mail. Starting spamd before sendmail would reduce the probability of such a problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sendmail-8.13.6-1 spamassassin-3.1.2-1.fc6 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot up Actual results: spamd starts after sendmail Expected results: It should start before Additional info: both are S80, which causes sendmail to start first since it sorts alphabetically before spamd.

So S78 then?

Going into FC6 for now. Will bring this back into FC5 later. Does chkconfig properly handle removing the previous S80 files when this number is changed?

No, you would need some trickery like this to fix the starting sequence: /sbin/chkconfig --add spamassassin LEVELS=$(/sbin/chkconfig --list spamassassin | sed -e 's/[0-6]:off//g;s/[^0-6]//g') /sbin/chkconfig --del spamassassin /sbin/chkconfig --add spamassassin [ -n "$LEVELS" ] && /sbin/chkconfig --levels $LEVELS spamassassin on The first --add makes sure that chkconfig knows about spamassassin for a first-time install, and has no effect on upgrades. The subsequent stuff records the current runlevels, removes the existing links, adds in new ones, and restores the runlevels to the original settings. A facility to do something like this would be nice to have within chkconfig itself of course.
Argh... this is quite a mess.
Since this is fixed in FC6, the bug can be closed, can't it?
