mailer startup problem

[Eric Fielding]

More on the problem I am having with getting "sendmail" to start up. I just
found the "syslog" file, and it has these error messages:

Sep  6 17:49:48 LOCALHOST: 3142 sendmail: NOQUEUE: SYSERR: getrequests: cannot b
ind: Permission denied
Sep  6 17:49:48 LOCALHOST: 3142 sendmail: cannot get connection

I tried starting sendmail after 'su'ing.  Is there a manual that explains more
about sendmail? Perhaps some file got set to the wrong owner? I changed the
ownership of "/etc/*" to "root".

Thanks for the quick responses.
