| 554 hawaii.ether... 554 System file missing

Looking through the Sendmail source (5.52 with IDA in my case) I can
only see two cases where EX_OSFILE is referenced. One occurs if
sendmail.cf cannot be opened, and the other if the smtp service cannot
be found from services.byname.

Is it possible that your services database is sometimes faulty?
