When installing sendmail (instead of postfix) in the default location of /usr/sbin/sendmail, the mail daemon doesn't start, only the queue handler. Attempting to start the daemon by hand results in the following error:
huron:/usr/sbin # ./sendmail -bD -q15m 451 4.0.0 opendaemonsocket: daemon MTA: cannot bind: Permission denied 421 4.0.0 opendaemonsocket: daemon MTA: server SMTP socket wedged: exiting huron:/usr/sbin # When I move the sendmail binary to /usr/lib and make a symbolic link to /usr/sbin, it starts as expected, both on the command line and in the /etc/init.d/sendmail script. It's only a minor inconvenience to start things this way, but it is an inconvenience. I suspect that this is related to some sort of enhanced security on /usr/sbin. The file system is reiserfs. Does anyone know how to rectify this condition?
