sendmail waiting at boot time

[Shiraz Baig]

Sir,
When my Redhat 9.0 boots, it stops at "Starting
Sendmail" and then keeps waiting for a very long time.
Then again it stops at "smb-client" and waits there
endlessly. I want to get rid of this waiting. A few
weeks back someone had suggested a solution. But I
can't located it. First of all someone should tell me,
how can we locate such issues from archives?

Secondly, I would request a solution for the above
problem. I tried one solution, it did not work. I went
to /etc/rc.d/rc3.d and deleted "S80sendmail". I knew
it was just a link, and I shall be able to create it
again when I need it. But this did not solve the
problem. Then I also deleted it from rc2.d. But to no
avail.

So, now I am looking for a solution, and also where
from is it coming, when I have deleted it in rc3.d

bye
shiraz
