Hi
Got a problem with an odd message in /var/log/messages.
At 03.15 every morning my NetBSD 1.6 box produces a message at the same
time as it connects itself to the net with ISDN. It says .. "
sendmail [15717]: gethostbyaddr(xIP. Address. of the. box .xx) failed:
1 "
Tried 'pkg_info sendmail' it says " can't find package 'sendmail'
installed or in a file!" Tried 'whereis sendmail' and it says ....
/usr/bin/sendmail. Don't want sendmail. Tried pkg_delete sendmail.
Won't let me delete it. Not quite sure what it do with this.
Anyone suggest how to either stop this or deleter sendmail in the hope
that it might stop my machine from connecting at 03.15.
Thanks
Richard
