[Sheflug] mandrake7.2



hi all

well, it's taken me best part of a week to download the files but it's been 
worth the effort...... 

mandrake7.2 is fantastic....
kde2 
(gnome1.2 for the purists)
alsa
reiserfs
kernel2.4


all works a treat except for sendmail... not a major issue... 
using the config files from the last version the came with mandrake7.1, it 
now refuses to send local mail when started as a normal user!
it complains about permisions....
i geuss this is a security feature....
can anyone tell me how to either run it as root or alow it to create the 
temporary mail files used during the sending of local mail?
the error is as follows

Nov  8 18:20:56 localhost sendmail[1286]: eA8IKus01286: SYSERR(ross): Cannot 
create ./dfeA8IKus01286: Permission denied
Nov  8 18:20:56 localhost sendmail[1286]: eA8IKus01286: SYSERR(ross): 
queueup: cannot create queue temp file ./tfeA8IKus01286, uid=500: Permission 
denied
