Sendmail problems solved, Now settings changing on reboot.

[Paul Guba]

OK I figured it out its not a sendmail problem at all.  When I start or 
restart the system the DNS setting revert back to the original settings 
when I configured the machine.  The server is now running as a DNS so I 
changed the settings to 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.2.3.  These get lost each 
time the machine restarts.  I stopped named and sendmail changed to the 
correct setting and restarted named and sendmail and all is well.  So 
the new question is why is this happening?  Today I changed the setting 
in K,system,network window.  Where is the actual text file that contain 
this info?  Why would it be changing on restart?
