sendmail won't start

I'm trying to do something that is admittedly a bit foolish.  I'm trying to 
get the sendmail RPM from Redhat-7.3 working on my ancient Caldera box. 
There's really not much Caldera left in it, as I've been upgrading it 
piecemeal to assorted Redhat RPMs for a while now, but it was last an 
amalgam of COL-2.4 & 3.1.

At any rate, I got sendmail-8.11.6-27.73 RPM installed, and running the 
sendmail binary manually does work.  Its just the initscript that came with 
it that fails to work.  If i run "/etc/init.d/sendmail start" i get:
Starting sendmail: Usage: daemon program

I can start sendmail manually with "sendmail -bd -q1h", and it backgrounds 
itself just fine, so its something wonky in the initscript.  Anyone have 
any suggestions on what might be wrong here?
