I'm sure I must be overlooking something very simple here...
I recently installed sendmail 8.9.0 on a system. It complains about
certain directories being group-writeable - didn't like the permissions
on /var:
# ls -ld /var
drwxrwxr-x 30 root system 512 Mar 10 21:02 /var
Easily fixed: "chmod 755 /var" and sendmail is happy.
Except that the permissions revert to 775 on every reboot. Why might
that be?
The only thing "different" about this particular system is that /var is
a separate disk partition, rather than contained within /usr.
