Sendmail lacks priviliges after upgrade?
I read that sendmail no longer uses setuid in 3.0. Is this what is
causing my problem, logged below?
[ rb@monitor:~ ] $ cat /etc/motd | sendmail rb
WARNING: RunAsGid for MSP ignored, check group ids (egid=1000, want=25)
can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): Permission denied
Program mode requires special privileges, e.g., root or TrustedUser.
Also, a message is written to /var/log/maillog:
Mar 15 01:16:39 monitor sendmail[27776]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(rb): can not
chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): Permission denied
What is causing this?
Here are some info that might help you help me :-)
