OK..thanks. But i have those error messages also on hpux11.
However how can i enable the smtp?

Sorry, on hpux11 i have these errors:
- vmunix: NOTICE: autofs_link(): File system was registered at index 3.
- vmunix: NOTICE: nfs3_link(): File system was registered at index 5.

The autofs messages are status, not errors. syslog does not log just errors. It logs what it is told to log. The syslog.conf file controls which file is used for each level or whether a particular severity level is even logged. See the man page for syslogd.

Thanks about the autofs. What about
the smtp DOWN ? How can I enable it?

Try:

/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

Check /var/adm/syslog/mail.log

On one ws, hpux11, the /sbin/init.d/sendmail didn't start. If I try to stop it and then restart i have: No sendmail server running.
I checked also the /etc/services and the smtp is OK, it isn't commented.
I checked the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log and i have a lot of errors about FTP that are the same: ftpd[..]: FTP session closed.
I have this error from a lot of hours each 5 minutes. Any tip?

Tarek,

Check /etc/rc.config.d/mailservs and see what the SENDMAIL_SERVER parameter is set to - it should be 1
