 Posted by Understudy on Saturday March 29, @01:09PMfrom the going postal dept. This is the error: Mar 29 02:02:40 Comp1 sm-msp-queue[100]: h2T72eFH000098: disconnect: sm_io_reopen("/dev/null") failed: Permission denied I recently did a fresh load on to a spare computer I have of FreeBSD 4.7 Stable. After doing the install everything seemed fine except for that error message popping up every now and then. I did not understand what it was. I just knew from the sm-msp-queue that it had something to do with sendmail. Well I hadn't configured sendmail. I figured it was trying to send me my nightly status reports. So I loaded mutt and set up a root account. That didn't solve the problem. I then began to look around and see what I could find. A search on Google turned up this report from FreeBSD. The article applies to the 5.0 Release of FreeBSD. And it is in a section titled "Known Pitfalls." I decided to try it and let it run for a little while and see what happens. Everything turned out great. I also found this reply to one of the articles on Chucktips. I am not sure if just leaving sendmail_enable="NONE" was going to solve my problem. So I left the extra lines in the rc.conf just to be safe. My rc.conf now contains these additional lines: sendmail_enable="NONE"sendmail_outbound_enable="NO" sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO sendmail_submit_enable="NO" Since doing that I have received no more error messages. Hope this helps you. < | >
