it is started during the boot process with the message "starting standard daemons ..." - where can i configure these?
Or what else do i need to do to get rid of it (please not de-installing http://bbs.prog365.com/images/sites/wink.gif i want it on-demand)?

I tried to disable sendmail in FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE.
what i did so far:
- read handbook and faq
- put sendmail_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf
- chmod 644 /etc/rc.sendmail
but when i reboot sendmail is still running (ps and netstat show sendmail). for security i don´t want my port 25 to be open...

This is funny,  I had this problem just 2 days ago (freebsd helped me out).
In /etc/rc.conf:
sendmail_enable="NONE"

another plain example is in /etc/defaults/rc.conf...
Code:
  1. sendmail_enable="YES"        # Run the sendmail inbound daemon (YES/NO/NONE).
  2.                         # If NONE, don't start any sendmail processes.
Copy Code

thanks. as you can tell probably from my posts, i am new to *bsd. looking for an alternative to win*** (again), linux was nice to play with for a long time. now it´s time to progress
from my first three days with FreeBSD i can tell: i like seems easier to configure and much less disordered than linux...
