This was very good explanation. Now I can configure my > daemons boot order. If you're using spamass-milter from Extras, the following should be enough to fix the order: # chkconfig --del spamass-milter # chkconfig --add spamass-milter # chkconfig spamass-milter on spamass-milter, spamassassin, and sendmail originally had the same "start value" of 80, so they got started in alphabetical order. I changed spamass-milter to 79 to get it to start before sendmail, but if you already had spamass-milter installed then the order wouldn't get changed. Starting spamassassin after spamass-milter isn't ideal but it's not going to cause any big problem. Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
