  This list is fine for updates and testing updates for stable too .. as
has been mentioned a few times. Tho it is not clear from the post if
there are any updates involved here ... :-)

  You prev post on sendmail is likely the same issue.

  F15 uses systemd which unfortunately seems not to work quite right for
starting some services - and I have seen no responses from the author
when these problems were brought up in earlier posts - there are bug
reports filed - many remain in tatus NEW - you should probably file or
append to the appropriate bugzilla.

  After being highly visible arguing why systemd was ready and largely
bug free and in heavy use for a long time and should be used in F14
(which I for one am glad it is not) the author has been largely absent
from the mailing lists.

  The best advice seems to be

    (a) Stay with f14, skip f15 and see where things are in 6 months

   (b)  Use rc.local (which seems to work) to run a script which starts
all the services by hand (so to speak) which dont otherwise start properly.

    Most I know have chosen (a) and some are also adding newer kernels
to F14. If you have Sandy Bridge computers you'll need newer kernels and
newer xorg/mesa as well.

Good luck.
