[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.
