Hey Gang,

In /usr/sbin/sendmail my permissions are
r-xr-xr-t.
I also have a /usr/lib/sendmail with a link back to the /usr/sbin/sendmail with lr-xr-xr-t.
How do I changethese to r-sr-sr-t and lr-sr-sr-t ????

Thanks
Bob

Hi,

you can set the permissions as follows:

chmod ug+s /usr/sbin/sendmail

The symlink permission itself cannot be changed.
The t at the end of the symlink permission indicates, that this is a transition link.

Both of you. 5 a piece.
