Sendmail Error on TRU64 5.1B

I am getting the following error while starting sendmail Daemon on TRU64 5.1B & the "unsafe map" line is logged in the mail.log. How can the error be eliminated ?
It is the default configuration & only some notification from Scripts are send out to Admin emails from the server.
The directory permissions were checked & set to 644 only, but still says World writable directory. Any suggestions ?

WARNING: World writable directory /
WARNING: World writable directory /
dbm map "Alias0": unsafe map file /var/adm/sendmail/aliases
Cannot create database for alias file /var/adm/sendmail/aliases
VMS is the best

Re: Sendmail Error on TRU64 5.1B

Maybe is running on a chrooted environment, see the option:

SafeFileEnvironment=dir

In your configuration file, verify the permissions.

Also, you can use the find / -type d -perm -0007 command to find world writable directories.
Por que hacerlo dificil si es posible hacerlo facil? - Why do it the hard way, when you can do it the easy way?

Hi,

Check your file permissions on these directories:

# ls -dl / /var/adm/sendmail
drwxr-xr-x 39 root system 8192 Jul 22 09:18 /
drwxr-xr-x 3 root system 8192 Nov 16 2004 /var/adm/sendmail

Cheers,
Kasper
