Something is definitely wrong here. Okay, Mozilla can take a little time to come up, simply because it is so big. It takes about 3-5 seconds for me; granted that is on a Athlon XP 1700. But even on a slow computer, a terminal should open in about a second. > > While booting the system starts sendmail most of the time... any clues > how to get rid of that problem ? Others have mentioned how to turn off sendmail. While you are at it, also turn off portmap, xinetd, sgi_fam, autofs, netfs, nfs, nfslock and rhnsd (and probably kudzu while you are at it). That gives the triple advantage of booting faster, running leaner, and increasing security. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
