Put all this as far of you mind as you can.

Reading carefully /etc/rc.d/sendmail, I think we need and aditional  
'syncpoint' just after or before LOGIN and revise if all that we put in  
LOGIN must really be there.

After the xdm experience, I think we need something that we can name as  
our near latest rc stage, with just those things that can have race  
conditions with our real latest: those things that we launch from init via  
/etc/ttys.
