For some changes the user is assumed to be restarting sendmail to invoke m4/make/makemap to generate sendmail.cf (from sendmail.mc) and the db files, rather than creating (or in some cases editing) these file manually (have a look in the /etc/mail/Makefile).
No! Only the clientqueue in /var/spool has to be owned by smmsp! In
Sendmail 8.12 versions shipped by Redhat prior to FC1 there was a bad
misconfiguration which meanwhile Florian LaRoche corrected. In previous
versions smmsp was set to be a trusted user in sendmail.mc. Sendmail on
FC1 no more has this faulty configuration.

See above! None of these files have to be owned by smmsp!
