It means that /etc/mail is world writable. Don't do this. It doesn't come by default this way, and you shouldn't have changed it. # chmod o-w /etc/mail sendmail is ultra paranoid about the protections on the directories it uses. It doesn't trust the configuration if you do things like make your configuration directory world writable. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
