I just installed Sendmail 5.61 on a network of 7 Sparcstations.
Everything apparantly seems to be okay, but every so often, the owner of
/var/spool/mail/xxxx (where 'xxxx' stands for some username) becomes
"nobody". Files /usr/lib/sendmail and /bin/mail are setuid'd, as installed
by the installation script.I do not know what the problem is; it appears
to work for internet mail though. It is the local mail delivery (by
/bin/mail) that is causing all the problems. Any clue?

Thanks in advance for your reply.
