by Hello, everyone. I installed Linux (Slackware 3.0) on my machine a
couple of days ago, and generally I'm hacking along without much
trouble. My main problem is that I can't figure out how to get sendmail
working. I assume I need a sendmail.cf file (I don't) but don't even
know what's supposed to go in such a file.
Here's the message that sendmail dies with now:
No local mailer defined: Socket operation on non-socket
cannot chdir((null)): Bad address
I am connecting this PC to the net via PPP, but this occurs whether or
not I am dialed in.
Also, do I need to load inetd and other daemons if no one's ever going to
be telnetting or ftp-ing to this machine?
E-mail would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Matthew
