/etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 81:

this is from the terminal:
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 81: fileclass: cannot open /etc/mail/local-host-names:

Thanks to macoshints again I got xwindows etc ... going ... working on ssh right now .... :D

while working in the terminal I got the above error ...
looks like sendmail is the culprit ... also found this djwudi.dyndns.org (http://www.djwudi.com/osxhacks.shtml) which confirmed what I was thinking.

2 questions:

how do I check the permissions for the root ( / ) directory?
and
is this a problem error? I really don't need sendmail and ... since I don't have a static ip

any advice is appreciated.

IMHO a very very good starting point to repair the cripple sendmail install of apple.
