What version of RedHat? I haven't seen this one in a long time.
Did you manually upgrade sendmail? What version sendmail?
Check permissions on /etc and see if it's "group writable".
If so, you probably should run "chmod g-w /etc" and see if that fixes
the problem. My /etc directory is mode 755. I don't know of any
reason why it would need to be looser.
Next question, what permissions do you have for /etc/aliases?
You say "another question"... I didn't see your previous question,
so if these are answered in a previous message, I apologize, but you
should probably make each question complete with configuration information.
