Starting up sendmail I get:
Starting sm-client: can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): Permission denied Program mode requires special privileges, e.g., root or TrustedUser.
I assume the user used for sm-client is smmsp. However, that user has /var/spool/mqueue as homedir and I added him to the trusted users list.
No! Please don't add user smmsp to the trusted users.
FYI, that user has disabled login (which should be okay) and the group has a pre-encrypted password by default. On Suse the client queue runner is run by user mail:mail which also has login disabled but no password for the group.
What do I need to change, so that sm-client runs okay on CentOS?

Typical reason is you broke the permissions of the sendmail binary. Check that it is
$ ls -al /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail -rwxr-sr-x 1 root smmsp 732248 21. Feb 2005 /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail
(Security update pending - hope package gets soon through.)
