/usr/sbin/sendmail permissions

I think I have asked this before, but I can't find the response. I recently updated sendmail and the permissions are showing up as:
-r-Sr-Sr-T instead of -r-s-r-s-r-t. How to I chang e the capital letters to small letters?

Thank you, and I promise to record this so I don't have to ask a third time.

Re: /usr/sbin/sendmail permissions

Try this:

# chmod 7555 file_name

Actually the "S" will become "s" when you have execute permission set (--x) with set user-id and set gid flags.
Life is a promise, fulfill it!

Thanks,

The chmod 7555 sendmail did it.

Also, just for clarification:

chmod +x sendmail

will do the same thing. Thanks for the explanation, Shiju.
