Wait...I'm confused here. How is it that linuxconf has changed
anything? Let alone the permissions on an entire directory so that it
doesn't have the proper read/write/exec permissions. All Linuxconf
does/is, is an interface with which to configure the system. It's
something that people need to accomplish this. 

It makes more sense to think that Sendmail is more the culprit here than a
configuration utility. Maybe I'm missing something here...
