I have fixed my clock issues and find that the above error message
really does not have much to do with the NTP or local clock - and the
sendmail problem still persists.
I have not had this issue before in the many months I have run F8
including the inception of F9 until some point when the latest
sendmail update was last issued.
What I find at this point are the 4 files that are problematic with the
latest sendmail updates:
1) /etc/mail/local-host-names (I use this for virtual domains)
2) /etc/mail/trusted-users (I use this for trusted users)
3) /var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock (Spamassasin)
4) /var/run/clamav-milter/clamav.sock (AntiVirus)
In all the above 4 files, sendmail is complaining of a Group-Writable
issue
and I have checked many times that this is not the issue at all, that
none of the
parent directories nor the file itself has any group writes set. I have
commented
out the specific 4 lines in the sendmail.cf files and was able to get
sendmail running
again but without the features I need. What I am not clear of, is if
this is a SELinux
issue or not. I tried setenforce 0 and this did not help.
These problems have not been resolved at this point.
Since nobody has responded, I thought to place here the fix for the the
sendmail
groupwritable claims for the two file: local-host-names and
trusted-users as follows:
1) Edit your /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file and change:
a) Fw/etc/mail/local-host-names ==>
Fw-o<space>/etc/mail/local-host-names
b) Ft/etc/mail/trusted-users ==> Fw-o<space>/etc/mail/trusted-users
replace <space> for actual space character!
NOTE: Your /etc/mail permissions are fine - no permissions changes are
required at all
for the files nor the directories or it's parents. This
is a change by sendmail.org
I think - dunno WHY, but there it is.
As for Spamassasin and ClamAV - there is no known fix for this that I
know of - does
anyone know? Has *anyone* gotten these to work? Why hasn't anyone said
anything
about this anywhere that I know of? I got this above information from a
blog site of all
places so there has been problems reported and a fix - but not for
Spamassasin or ClamAv
Thanks!
