[SOLVED] sendmail very slow to start on CentOS 5.5 after host name change

Postby Qu0ll » 2010/08/07 09:58:16

I changed the host name on this CentOS 5.5 machine but whenever I reboot the machine the startup pauses at the point of starting sendmail for several minutes and then eventually moves on.

What could be causing this?

 

Hi,
I am not sure about the cups part, but as far as the sendmail issue, please try the following after logging into your system.

[root@linux ~]#vi /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 <hostname> localhost.localdomain localhost

This should solve the problem.
