Also, if you are simply using the sysadm mailmgmt to install your sendmail.cf
it creates /etc/resolv.conf with a nameserver called "nameserver" regardless
of whether you use the name server or not. This will cause sendmail to
be seriously screwed up, not sending mail, and in addition, if you are at
init level 3, will cause X windows to fail. To fix this, I was told by
ISC, (of course, assuming you don't use the nameserver) to edit /etc/resolv.conf
and make sure it says "nonameserver".....
