sendmail[3032988]: h5AD04tW3239227: SYSERR(root): hash map "Alias0": unsafe 
map file /etc/aliases.db: World writable directory
sendmail[3032988]: h5AD04tW3239227: SYSERR(root): dbm map "Alias0": unsafe 
map file /etc/aliases: No such file or directory

Ok guys, I hate to be a slacker and post this here, but it is seriously 
pissing me off. This appears to be a fairly known problem which everyone 
knows or understands the solution for. That is everyone except me. I am 
getting this on several of my machines, and I tried updating sendmail to the 
newest version, and yet still it will not go away. I have tried every 
solution which i found googling, and still no luck at all.

I honestly don't know sendmail at all, and I would like to resolve this. I 
was hoping someone could explain what is wrong, possibly how to fix it, and 
you can even call me any names you want. :) I greatly appreciate your time, 
and patience with my ignorance. I am so slammed right now at work. :(

Thank again,
Paul Drew
