  12. Does anyone run sendmail from inetd? I had hoped a line in /etc/inetd.conf like
  13.     "smtp stream tcp wait root /usr/lib/sendmail sendmail"
  14. would do the trick, but sendmail terminated with exit status 73,
  15. and the sending sendmail complaints: "sendmail[2213]: AA02211:
  16. SYSERR: net hang reading from <host>: Connection timed out during
  17. greeting wait with <host>". Is there a good reason why vendors don't
  18. start sendmail this way in the first place? Is it possible at all?
  19. (I'm running SunOS 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 with sendmail LD_ patched sendmail)
