Fedora Core 3 is my OS.
I am trying to get sendmail up and running. I have set the DS relay and all but when I start sendmail (service sendmail start) it complains with the following;
[root@mysys mail]# service sendmail start
Starting sendmail: [ OK ]
Starting sm-client: /etc/mail/submit.cf: line 545: fileclass: cannot open '/etc/mail/trusted-users': Group writable directory
[FAILED]
Any ideas?
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: sendmail troubles
That is not the cause of the problem though.
You really don't need the sm-client at all. It doesn't do anything for you.
I'd take steps so it doesn't run.
service sendmail status
If its good, you are good.
sendmail -v -d8 -d38 someone@some.net
Type some text
.
Just to make sure the mail goes okay.

Re: sendmail troubles
Have gone through sendmail.cf and commented the trusted-users and local-host-names. OK. The sm-client is not starting.
I can sendmail to myself. But not problem is the aliases. Says it is world write but I look and is not (both aliases and aliases.db).
URGGG...

Re: sendmail troubles
/etc
/etc/mail
Make sure neither of them are group-writeable.
Then make sure the file '/etc/mail/trusted-users' is also only 644 or 600.
That should clear that error up.
From my system:
drwxr-xr-x 100 root root 8192 May 7 09:38 /etc
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 5 18:31 /etc/mail
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 127 Oct 29 2003 /etc/mail/trusted-users

Re: sendmail troubles
just to ensure nothing is missed, execute the following
chown -R root:root /etc/mail
chmod 644 /etc/mail/*
chmod 755 /etc/mail
Hope this helps,
Gopi

Re: sendmail troubles
One message that was appearing is that the / is world writable. I didn't put much stock in this message because I didn't change the / permissions and this is the permissions of the default install. (Fedora Core 3)
To be honest I was somewhat heistant to make that change. I did make the change, from the / directory I did "chmod 755 .."
The sendmail stuff seems to work now.
Will this cause me some grief? Now or later?
