But there's no reason to delay logins until cron or the sendmail daemon
have started. And the sendmail daemon doesn't really ever have to run
unless there are undelivered messages in the queue. I'd guess the only
reason it was ever done that way was the convention of giving X it's own
runlevel which doesn't make all that much sense anyway.
