Running Suse 9.3.

Ran the above commands after installing MailScanner. Reran them again at
your suggestion.

# rcsendmail stop
Shutting down SMTP port                                               done
# chkconfig sendmail off
# rcMailScanner restart
Shutting down sendmail and MailScanner                                done
Initializing incoming sendmail                                        done
Initializing outgoing sendmail                                        done
Initializing MailScanner
# chkconfig MailScanner on

...and yet I still get the following;

Aug  1 15:01:44 sendmail-out[26592]: unable to write pid to
/var/run/sendmail.pid: file in use by another process

Very odd.

Any other clues?

Thank you, again.
