Look in inetd.conf(5) to find out. Disable it and send a HUP to inetd(8) if it is in there.

Is your DNS working correctly? sendmail does some DNS lookups when it starts up.

Don't run ftpd from inetd if you want to run a separate ftpd deamon. What does cron have to do with this, BTW? > Is there a way to find out what was trying to be run as a daemon during > boot, so I can see what didn't start? Where does FreeBSD look to find all > the daemons it needs to run during bootstrap? In the rc files. The code you are looking for is in rc.network. If you want to search the startup codes, $ grep <string> /etc/rc* You can add /usr/local/etc/rc.d/* to search the "custom" additions. > This is a fresh 4.1.1 install, I'm still using the GENERIC kernel and making > a point to not change anything until someone can help me figure out what the > problem is. First, what are you trying to do? If you want to run an independent ftpd daemon, you have to disable ftpd in inetd.conf. Only one program, either an ftpd daemon or inetd, can be listening on port 21 at a time. -- Crist J.
