On bootup and when I try to manually send mail I get the following two
errors:

# echo "test" | mailx -s "test" rlmarkham at hafeleamericas.com
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 77: fileclass: cannot open
'/etc/mail/local-host-names': Group writable directory
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 492: fileclass: cannot open
'/etc/mail/trusted-users': Group writable directory


This is a new install Solaris 8 box with a more recent patch cluster.
