Hello and Thank You.

I downloaded sendmail.8.8.7.tar.gz and after I gunzipped it, I did:
tar -xvf sendma*

For some reason, the ownership and group of the file were this:
drwxr-xr-x	30034	username1	sendmail-8.8.7

All the sub-dirs are owned by username1 also.
I logged on as root, and I am not username1.

I appreciate your help,
Brian WF Tobin
