Check the date/time on your machine (man date).  an incorrect date/time can
cause some funny errors.

Of course, it could be because when you installed you selected the wrong
option of whether your system click was set to GMT or not.   redhat is a bit
annoying like that.  If you set it to the wrong one (and I can't remember
which one), it pre-dates file time-stamps and then linuxconf spits lots of
noise on exit.  It's just noise, but it's annoying.

Also of note: Do not use linuxconf to configure sendmail.  In fact, I'd
recommend not using it at all and learning where the real configuration
files are that linuxconf read/writes to and what the full extent of your
options are.

 Just my $0.02 worth.
