Re: Boots up but no login (Tosh 4005cds 4.6-RELEASE)

I don't know why your terminal isn't working, but as for
the sendmail issue, if you look at UPDATING, it says:

20020404:
	Due to the import of sendmail 8.12.2 (see 20020325
	entry), a new user and group are required in order for
	sendmail to run as a set-group-ID binary.  A 'make
	installworld' will use the new user and group to set the
	owner and group of /var/spool/clientmqueue and will fail
	if the new user and group do not exist.  The 'smmsp'
	user and group must be merged from src/etc/group and
	src/etc/master.passwd before using 'make installworld'.
	'mergemaster -p' will do this.  You may need to install
	mergemaster before this will work if you are updating
	from a very old version of stable.  This can be done
	with: cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster; make all install
	[clean]

So did you run mergemaster?  You may have to boot from floppy or
CD and use fixit to get a terminal to do that . . .
