[Joseph S. D. Yao]

Again, apologies if this was answered while our news was down.

The lines are ambiguous (or wrong), but are from syslog().
Yours seems to be compiled -DEBUG.

When making Vmunix, make sure you have:
	pseudo-device	loop
in your configuration file before running 'config'.

Make sure you have the following lines in the following files:

/etc/hosts:
	127.1		<your-host-name> localhost
/etc/networks:
	loopback	127		software loopback net
(without preceding STANDOUT tab, of course.)

You may also want to re-compile the syslib and then sendmail,
in /usr/src/usr.lib/sendmail/{lib,src}.
