- Hi,I am running FreeBSD 2.2.6 RELEASE, with sendmail.  I have run
'wrapper config-test' and it has returned with no errors.  However when
newaliases
or sendmail runs I get the next message on the terminal


sendmail[578]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): hash map "Alias1": unsafe map file
/usr/local/majordomo/aliases.majordomo: Permission denied
WARNING: cannot open alias database /usr/local/majordomo/aliases.majordomo
Cannot create database for alias file
/usr/local/majordomo/aliases.majordomo:
Operation not supported by device

- And every now and then:

sendmail[578]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): hash map "Alias1": unsafe map file
/usr/local/majordomo/aliases.majordomo: No such file or directory

- This is how the file aliases.majordomo looks on the system

drwxr-xr-x   8 majordom  majordom  1024 Sep 16 14:20 majordomo
% cd majordomo
% pwd
/usr/local/majordomo
% ll|grep aliases.majordomo
-rw-r--r--  1 bin      bin      4541 Sep 16 12:58 aliases.majordomo

- And I have tried it as:

-rw-rw-r--  1 root      wheel      4541 Sep 16 12:58 aliases.majordomo
-rw-rw-r--  1 bin      wheel      4541 Sep 16 12:58 aliases.majordomo
-rw-r--r--  1 root      wheel      4541 Sep 16 12:58 aliases.majordomo
-rw-r--r--  1 bin      wheel      4541 Sep 16 12:58 aliases.majordomo

- This is how the file sendmail.cf looks

# location of alias file
O AliasFile=/etc/aliases, /usr/local/majordomo/aliases.majordomo
<--------- Current
#O AliasFile=/usr/local/majordomo/aliases.majordomo
<--------- I have tried it like this


If you know what is happening please let me know
