Greetings,

How can I prevent the sendmail daemon from starting on HP-UX 10.20 running
on a D-Class server (D330)?

Thank you!

It's the same as most services. Look in /etc/rc.config.d/* for a control
variable. Set it to "0" to disable it.

Set the variable SENDMAIL_SERVER=0 in /etc/rc.config.d/mailservs

Thanks Chris, but I've already done that. It seems that the sendmail daemon
runs anyway, as there are messages in /var/adm/syslog/mail.log like such:

Feb 11 04:27:12 ace sendmail[2593]: EAA02565: EAA02593: DSN: Insufficient
permission: Error 0
Feb 11 04:27:12 ace sendmail[2593]: EAA02593: to=root, delay=00:00:00,
xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, stat=Insufficient permission:
or 0
Feb 11 04:27:12 ace sendmail[2593]: EAA02593: EAB02593: return to sender:
Insufficient permission: Error 0
Feb 11 04:27:13 ace sendmail[2593]: EAB02593: to=root, delay=00:00:01,
xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, stat=Insufficient permission:
or 0
Feb 11 04:27:13 ace sendmail[2593]: EAA02593: Saved message in
/var/tmp/dead.letter

Any other ideas? If not, thanks anyway!

Stew

I'm not fully up on sendmail logging, but could those be from attempts
to send _outbound_ mail? The rc.config.d stuff (assuming you reboot
and don't see anything listening on port smtp in netstat -a | grep
LISTEN output...) just affects launching sendmail as an _inbound_
daemon.

feel free to post, OR email to raj in cup.hp.com but NOT BOTH...

Stupid question: Did you run the stop script in /sbin/init.d?
Changing the variable alone doesn't stop it.
