Can anyone confirm or deny > this? The change is only occurring on sendmail (and the files linked to it, of course). Another person mentioned that he had seen it when sendmail was called from cron. We are calling sendmail crom cron on this machine (instead of running it as a daemon). However, why this should make the date change baffles me. I don't even see how it could do it, because the schg is working as I would expect: # touch sendmail touch: sendmail: Operation not permitted Kenneth To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe security" in the body of the message
