Hello and Thank You. I downloaded sendmail.8.8.7.tar.gz and after I gunzipped it, I did: tar -xvf sendma* For some reason, the ownership and group of the file were this: drwxr-xr-x 30034 username1 sendmail-8.8.7 All the sub-dirs are owned by username1 also. I logged on as root, and I am not username1. I appreciate your help, Brian WF Tobin VMW
