F14 Sendmail hard of hearing

After upgrading to a 3 terabyte hard drive, I reinstalled
Fedora 14 and can't get Sendmail to listen on the usual
network interfaces.  The usual trick of commenting out
the 127. line no longer was sufficient.  I had to
ecplicitly give a port command in sendmail.mc:

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=70.89.176.169, Name=MTA')dnl

This only works for one interface - loopback and local net
are no listened to.  The following strange squawks from network
restart may be relevan:


[root at omen ~]# service network restart
