I have a strange problem that I'm having difficulty tracking down.  I'm
using v6.11 ALPHA of sendmail and I find that when sendmail is started from
the /etc/rc.* scripts upon boot-up, the sendmail is in a strange state where
it seems to be operating normally, but doesn't recognize any users.  I can
telnet to the SMTP port, but a VRFY root or a VRFY weisen comes back with
the user unknown....no such file or directory error.  Anyone have any
debugging tips?
