What were you trying to do?
	look at my newly updated to 8.2 SGI


What went wrong?
	I noticed the following line in root's crontab:
0,15,30,45    *       *       *       *       /sbin/chkconfig sendmail;if test $? -ne 0 || /sbin/chkconfig smap; then /usr/lib/sendmail -q > /dev/null 2>&1; fi

I don't know if we really care, but it does seem a little redundant
since we run sendmail -q once an hour (desync'd) regardless of whether
chkconfig sendmail is true (presumably due to mkserv mail or similar)
or anything else.


(Yes, "go away" is a reasonable response to this report. :-)
