	Do you modify the /etc/netstart?
	And how do you set the IP address?

>3) localhost: bad value? twice?

	caused by the previous problem

>4) bind: can't assign requested address (twice)

	same as above

>5) Most perplexing: *Cannot read frozen config file* -- how do I thaw it out? ;-)

	sendmail -bz
	(The error message comes from the sendmail daemon.)
