But I did do a /usr/lib/sendmail -bz as root!

	uid=0(root) gid=1(daemon) groups=1(daemon)

Here is my output from `id`

So, are you saying that my gid has to be root?  I don't have a root group.
These are my groups. 

wheel:*:0:
daemon:*:1:
kmem:*:2:
bin:*:3:
uucp:*:4:
operator:*:5:
news:*:6:
software:*:10:
dmn:*:20:
admin:*:30:

I'll make root group zero and give it a shot, but I still don't understand.
