m4 command?

When I do the m4 command in step 7:

m4 sendmail.cf < sendmail.mc

I get a bunch of text printed to the screen. When I do a 'ls -l' tho the sendmail.cf is older then the sendmail.mc file.

There is a ton of output, but there are no errors that I could see.
I am running FC 5. When I restart sendmail this is what is printed to the log:


Jul 13 22:59:38 wsi-fc5 sendmail[8304]: starting daemon (8.13.8): SMTP+queueing@01:00:00
Jul 13 22:59:38 wsi-fc5 sm-msp-queue[8311]: My unqualified host name (wsi-fc5) unknown; sleeping for retry
Jul 13 23:00:38 wsi-fc5 sm-msp-queue[8311]: unable to qualify my own domain name (wsi-fc5) -- using short name
Jul 13 23:00:38 wsi-fc5 sm-msp-queue[8318]: starting daemon (8.13.8): queueing@01:00:00

Any thoughts or suggestions (I've never used m4 before so I'm not sure how it is used)

Thanks
Jim
