These are normal, they should both be symbolic links to 'sendmail' in
init.d...

ls -l /etc/rc.d/rc?.d/S80*
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           25 May 29  1999
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S80sendmail -> /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           18 May 26  1999
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S80sendmail -> ../init.d/sendmail

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root          859 Mar  6  1999
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail

make sure you don't have one linked to /bin/sendmail or something silly ;)

You should be able to run these by hand and they should exit after a
second or two, if they hang up something is wrong....

What happens if you just start sendmail manually, eg:

/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q1h

?

gsh
