[plug] Red Hat 5.2

[Rob Hall]

I'm beginning to wish I never upgraded to RH 5.2.  5.0 was running fine as
it was.  I'm finding a lot of subtle changes that are making it a nightmare
to install properly.  There is still quite a lot of stuff broken - I'm
seriously thinking of scrapping it and giving Debian ago.  I think its
commercialism is ruining it </rant>

My latest saga is with sendmail.  My old box used to send mail to the
internet quite fine.  Now nothing goes.  Here's what I get in maillog:

Jan 28 23:42:33 hcm sendmail[1046]: XAA01044: to=heights at iinet.net.au,
ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:04, xdelay=00:00:04, mailer=esmtp,
relay=mx2.iinet.net.au. [203.59.24.15], stat=Deferred: 418
<blagh at work.hcm>... unresolvable host name, check your configuration

My  hostname is "work", my domain is "hcm".

This setup used to work fine with RH 5.0.  Anyone tell me what's going on?


Regards,


Rob Hall
