Storm Linux Install Problems

I'd be willing to bet it's a name resolution issue. Check your resolv.conf
for correct settings, and nsswitch.conf for nis and nispus (if you're not
using them remove them of course.) Also, make sure that the DNS server
you've specified knows who the hell you are. Or setup your own box as the
primary DNS and get your hosts file setup.

I'll gaurantee the sendmail and httpd issues are name resolution, but I've
never had syslogd hang on me for any reason other than invalid whitespace in
the config file. A host.conf with the order set with bind as first in the
search order when the box doesn't run bind is a problem I've seen as well.
