Hello,
I solved my problem. My /usr/var/adm/sendmail still had permission of
775. A executed the go-w sendmail and things worked.
Thanks
Jane
>>>ORIGINAL MESSAGES<<<
Again I seem to need assistance. In my plight to upgrade new
hardware/OS I seem to have acquired a sendmail issue. I am running
tru64 v5.1a (patch level 6) which upgrades sendmail to 8.9.3.
I change sendmail to that users only send from the local machines they
do not receive any email. I accomplish this by changing the
/sbin/init.d/sendmail file to prevent the daemon from starting. This
has never caused any issues prior.
The original line is:
nohup $SBIN/sendmail -bd -q15m ${ARGS} 2> /dev/null &
I change it to
nohup $SBIN/sendmail -q15m ${ARGS} 2> /dev/null &
That is all I do to sendmail. My problem now is that sendmail is not
running and if I try to start it I get
#/sbin/init.d/sendmail restart
Could not find the sendmail daemon.
Attempting to restart sendmail...
SMTP Mail Service started.
/var/adm/sendmail/sendmail.cf: line 116: fileclass: cannot open

I have done a
# chmod go-w /var
My local.users has permissions of
# -rwxr-xr-x root bin local.users
My output from
#/usr/sbin/sendmail -d0.1 produces the following - which includes the
same error

My cron also does not function on this machine. I am hoping they are
related. Output in my

Thank you again for any assistance. I will summarize all at the end of
this ordeal.
