Sendmail couldn't write his /var/run/sendmail.pid file.
I saw this behaviour in FreeBSD 2.2.2 and -current.
I think the newest sendmail version introduces this.
It's important, that every directory is owned by root.
FreeBSD's /var/run directory permissions are
drwxr-xr-x 2 bin bin 512 Jul 18 17:20 run
After changing the permissions to:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root bin 512 Jul 18 17:20 run
everything is fine. So we should fix the installation and
possibly the mtree files as well.
Any takers ? Any other voices ???
