chmod command

[uspfoms]

Installed new sendmail, now need to correct permissions on it. The original sendmail is r-sr-sr-t. What is the correct chmod syntax to get these permissions ?

Thanks

Hi

Just did the same :)

chmod 555 /usr/sbin/sendmail
chmod u+s /usr/sbin/sendmail
chmod g+s /usr/sbin/sendmail
chmod o+t /usr/sbin/sendmail
