Hi All,
I've gotten some good advice on my previous post regarding probe-scsi-all. I'll post a summary next week after I've had a chance to try out the suggestions during the downtime.
In the meantime, I'm having another problem with the same 420R running Solaris 9 (with the recommended patch cluster as of mid-summer installed). I'm wanting to run sendmail out of cron with the appropriate options to tell it to process the mail queue. I DO NOT want to run it as a daemon and accept incoming e-mail to this machine.
So I sent a test message with mailx (which queued up as it should) and then ran as root "/usr/lib/sendmail -q". I got the following error in /var/log/syslog:
Dec 3 12:07:51 my-fake-hostname sendmail[10255]: [ID 801593 mail.info] iB3I7pSO010255: to=root, ctladdr=root (0/1), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30503, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]
Running "/usr/lib/sendmail -qf" and even doing a "/etc/init.d/sendmail start" didn't help. Same error. Checked /etc/inet/hosts - here's the first couple of lines:
#
# Internet host table
#
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost my-fake-hostname
1.2.3.4 my-fake-hostname.mydomain my-fake-hostname
Still getting the same error.
A search of Sunsolve for the error uncovered Document #74310, which fit my situation exactly. I eagerly followed the resolution steps listed in the document ... and got the exact same error.
Searched the archives but didn't find anything. Google hits are mostly for Linux and haven't helped. We do normally run ipsec on this machine, but we've disabled it temporarily to rule it out and still get the same error.
I feel like I'm having a bad week and missing something obvious, but I can't for the life of me figure out what it is. Can someone please enlighten me?
I will send my sendmail.cf file upon request, but it's the stock one created by following the aforementioned sun doc.
