Description of problem:
Fedora 8's crond expects to find sendmail in /usr/lib:

# strings /usr/sbin/crond | fgrep sendmail
/usr/lib/sendmail

This is incorrect; the standard location for sendmail on Red Hat Linux systems
is /usr/sbin/sendmail, and has been for probably a decade.
If the above test is repeated on a system running Fedora 7 or RHEL 5,
"/usr/sbin/sendmail" is printed, as expected.

Out of the box, this doesn't create a problem since Fedora 8's default sendmail
package drops a sendmail symlink into /usr/lib. But if, like me, you use a
custom-built MTA package that doesn't provide /usr/lib/sendmail, crond will
mysteriously cease sending mail after upgrading to Fedora 8. Not good.

This issue is specific to the vixie-cron package; all other F8 packages I've
checked thus far continue to use the proper /usr/sbin/sendmail path.
