George,
What version of RH are you running and what runlevel are you booting
into? There are several ways of disabling sendail, but I wouldn't
advise it.
Permissions on my box (RH 5.2) for the /etc/sendmail* files are:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 30192 Sep 21 17:54 /etc/sendmail.cf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 59 Sep 21 17:54 /etc/sendmail.cw
File sizes vary depending upon which version of sendmail your using.
... Steve
