On an 8.2.17 Sun, "/usr/lib/sendmail -bi" (run by the athena init.d
script) now complains:
WARNING: local host name (longm) is not qualified; fix $j in config file
WARNING: writable directory /usr
WARNING: writable directory /usr/spool
/etc/mail/aliases: 4 aliases, longest 19 bytes, 104 bytes total
The directories are both mode 775:
longm.mit.edu# ls -lLd /usr /usr/spool
drwxrwxr-x 14 root sys 1024 Jan 29 11:48 /usr
drwxrwxr-x 11 root bin 512 Jan 29 11:41 /usr/spool
The writable directory complaints went away after I chmod'ed them 755.
The machine has the standard sendmail.cf file, with Dj$w; I didn't
try changing it.
I don't believe this was happening before (8.2.17 apparently installs
a new sendmail binary).
