The server's running as user mailnull, group mail, so the permissions have to be set to allow it to read the /etc/sasldb file (IIRC it previously ran as the superuser, who can read any file on a local disk). If you make the file group-readable, you'll find that sendmail will balk at using it because it fails permission safety checks. You can override this check by adding O DontBlameSendmail=groupreadablesasldbfile to /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and restarting the sendmail service. There's more information at http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/auth.html toward the end of the "Installation" section. HTH, Nalin
