kutulu> I recently saw commits to -CURRENT to add standard users for
kutulu> sendmail (or other MTAs) to run as in place of root.

These users do not make sendmail run as a non-root user.  If you double
check the commit message, you'll see that they only affect certain
operations.

kutulu> What do I need to change to my existing -STABLE setup to
kutulu> incorporate sendmail running as non-root?

Take a look at the sendmail documentation for the RunAsUser option.

kutulu> And what users/groups should I add to keep my system in line with
kutulu> the new standard users?  (Of course, if this change is going to be
kutulu> MFC'd then I'll just wait for that.)

It will be MFC'ed in the next few days.
