There is a specific issue of having the boot-time vi.recover stuff run before the mail system (as defined by mailer.conf) is actually ready. A good example of this would be to take exim, postfix, qmail, whatever, and link in mysql support, changing /etc/mail/mailer.conf appropriately for the "sendmail" entry. Since the mysql libraries are in a "non-standard" place (/usr/local/lib/mysql), and haven't yet been ldconfig'd in, in such a situation you'll see "odd" failures at boot up, iff there are vi sessions to recover as a result of a previous system failure. As to a real solution, I'm not sure. Perhaps an appropriate "mta" keyword for PROVIDE/REQUIRE? -aDe
