Permissions on /var change at boot time

Greetings,

I've got a system running Digital Unix 4.0D that I installed sendmail 8.9 on
some time ago. Everything is working fine, but I did have to remove the group
write permissions on /var so that sendmail doesn't get upset about files that
are located in /var/adm/sendmail. The problem I have is that every time the
system is rebooted, /var changes back to its original permissions setting. I
have grepped the startup files in vain looking for where this happens, but I
haven't been able to find it. Does anyone know what script does this at boot
time so I can disable it? Thanks.
