Comment 1 Thomas Woerner 2005-09-05 16:37:17 UTC

Have you changed the file access permisssions of /etc or /etc/mail?

These should be:
drwxr-xr-x  87 root root 12288 Sep  5 18:11 /etc
drwxr-xr-x   3 root root  4096 Jul 29 19:13 /etc/mail

The writbale flag may not be set for group and others.

Checked on these and their ok as you described

Comment 3 Thomas Woerner 2005-09-06 08:18:20 UTC

Is your / directory world writable?

Please post the result of "ls -lad / /etc /etc/mail".

Comment 4 Leo Canale 2005-09-06 20:06:30 UTC

[root@localhost ~]# ls -lad / /etc /etc/mail
drwsrwsrwt   44 root root  4096 Sep  5 16:28 /
drwxr-xr-x  119 root root 12288 Sep  5 17:43 /etc
drwxr-xr-x    3 root root  4096 Jul 22 20:16 /etc/mail
[root@localhost ~]#

Comment 5 Leo Canale 2005-09-06 20:09:57 UTC

[root@localhost ~]# ls -lad / /etc /etc/mail
drwsrwsrwt   44 root root  4096 Sep  5 16:28 /
drwxr-xr-x  119 root root 12288 Sep  5 17:43 /etc

Sorry about comment #5 fat fingers.
I changed / directory access permissions to:
[root@localhost ~]# chmod 755 /
[root@localhost ~]# ls -lad / 
drwxr-xr-x   44 root root  4096 Sep  5 16:28 /
That solved the sendmail errors on boot. 

What changed that after the updates I installed?
And why?

I am now getting auditd error not familiar with this daemon and what to do 
about it.

Comment 7 Thomas Woerner 2005-09-07 10:04:59 UTC

This should be:

# ls -lad /
drwxr-xr-x  23 root root 4096 Sep  5 17:27 /

Do you know 
- if sendmail was able to start before the update?
- which packages were updated?

Comment 8 Leo Canale 2005-09-07 20:29:35 UTC

Yes sendmail was able to start before one of these updates

Comment 9 Thomas Woerner 2006-07-14 13:53:20 UTC

There is no script in sendmail which could result in a permission change of "/"
and I do not know of a script in another package which does this change. I can
not reproduce this problem at all.

Closing as "NOT A BUG".
