Sendmail issues
Sendmail is kicking my ass tonight. There's been no exploits on the sendmail bug that's been making the rounds, but I patched anyways the other day. One of the boxes had been problematic, with sendmail processes going a little haywire (redhat linux/7.2) with no load to speak of... cleaned the ques, checked the obvious... sendmail was just having issues approximately every 4 hours.
To tide me over for a few days I just made a cron script that would shut it down and restart the sendmail process every 3 hours... well, it worked well for 2 days, but not the 3 I was hoping for.
Sooo... had to go back to -rpm sendmail and reinstall from scratch, which caused a problem with some special config files... but everything is back up and seems to be testing well as of midnight. Trying to decide if I should hit the sack and get on my to-do list bright and early, or try to make a decent dent it in tonight.
