There you go. On my FC2 system, [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ls -lL /usr/sbin/sendmail -rwxr-sr-x 1 root smmsp 720484 Apr 15 2004 /usr/sbin/sendmail Your cp -r has f*ed up the owner/group of the sendmail binary. Next time, you will do it the right way, I suppose. Now you have a totally fubared system, since all setuid/setgid files have lost their owner/group information I guess. Better to reinstall I suppose (unless you have the old /usr still handy).
