If you're using the "Graphical" login, use the "Start/RedHat"
button-->System Settings-->ServerSettings-->Services for
most services. There's a special problem with Sendmail
because they wanted to make sure that unknowledgable users
don't accidentally create mail/spam relays. There's a
separate thread on this list (and documentation in
/usr/share/doc I'm told) about really setting up mail.
