For no apparent reason, the following error message is suddenly appearing 
on my computer monitor.

# Jul  4 07:48:31 beerstud sm-mta[5876]: j64BIV2C005802: SYSERR(root): 
hash map "Alias0": unsafe map file /etc/mail/aliases.db: World writable 
directory

I checked, and the directory is set at 0755. I never altered it or 
anything, so why is it suddenly giving me this message? In addition, what 
do I have to do to correct the situation?

Thanks
