>Description:
I have sshd running from inetd, and I wanted inetd to launch before sendmail because sendmail sometimes hangs. Thus, I added the following to /etc/rc.d/inetd:
# BEFORE: sendmail
However, 'rcorder /etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*' shows me that inetd is still running (way) after sendmail in this case.
If I change the line in inetd to
# BEFORE: sshd
then rcorder shows inetd before sshd, which was always before sendmail.

Thus, for some reason, asking for before sendmail doesn't work, but asking for before sshd does.
>How-To-Repeat:
Edit /etc/rc.d/inetd as described above, and see the results in 'rcorder /etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*'
