Re: [webmin-l] Timeout locking sendmail files

[Steve C. <cam...@cn...>]

After delving deeper into the archives, I find that this problem is more
than likely a lock file problem, specific to the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc.lock
file. But here's the kicker-

It appears that there is contention over the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc.lock file
with itself, as the lockfile does not exist until I press the Create button
in the "Add Configuration Entry".

Again, any help is much appreciated.
