Description of Problem:Using the 7.2 system network configuration I entered the data of host: Daisy and ip 10.0.0.3 and rebooted. The ethernet card came up fine, the computer name changed to Daisy as desired, but dial-up network and sendmail were broken. I redid dial-up network and it now works well but sendmail takes 3 minutes to load and the same time to send an e-mail. I added Daisy and 10.0.0.3 to /etc/mail/access and made access.md which sendmail can read. But it has no effect! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: Just set up a ethernet card. Steps to Reproduce: 1. set up an ethernet card 2. reboot 3. notice sendmail takes 3 minutes to load. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information:
With a Red Face I report finding the problem. You must use a complete URL address for the ethernet/network card. I had just used Daisy. So went to the file /etc/hosts and where there was 10.0.0.3 Daisy I added: 10.0.0.3 Daisy.dog Daisy and sendmail and the ethernet card are happy.
