Oct 14 08:45:38 solo sendmail[1362]: IAA01362: ruleset=check_mail, arg1=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [127.0.0.1], reject=451 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Sender domain must resolve Not sure if this is how your mail goes out or how mine comes in. At any rate, I changed my /tmp permissions to 1777 and still no luck with xdm. I enter root and the password and the screen goes blank and returns with the login screen. My own user ID gets the same response when attempting to login. Any other suggestions?
