I tried changing these entries to "files" and still got segfault on startup. I did notice the lines below that in /etc/nsswitch.conf, though: protocols: db files services: db files ethers: db files rpc: db files And considered that the segfault is happening immediately after loading libdb-4.3.so, ie the Berkeley database library. So I changed those lines to read: protocols: files services: files ethers: files rpc: files This fixed the problem. Sendmail now starts up and runs just fine. Dave McCracken
