[root@dusty init.d]# ./sendmail start Starting sendmail: 451 4.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 91: fileclass: cannot open '/etc/mail/local-host-names': Group writable directory 451 4.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 588: fileclass: cannot open '/etc/mail/trusted-users': Group writable directory

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

now what am i missing.

Reading the error message... chmod g-w /etc/mail ..and do an ls -ld /etc/mail to make sure the owner and other permissions are sane.
