RE: [SLUG] Sendmail hanging why?

        [Bob Foxworth] In RedHat, you can run " chkconfig --list " to
        return a couple dozen services and their on|off state for each of
        the six runlevels, and you have an option to "--add" or "--del"
        the services, you can set sendmail to "off" for each of the 0 thru 6
        runlevels as I did. This retains the option of turning it "on"
later.
        But I agree, unless you WANT to run mail services, it just gets in
        the way as well as being an unwanted security hole.
