In re the problem with a remote /usr:

sendmail uses /usr/tmp.  Since your /usr/tmp is from a remote machine
(which uses that area too) it might possibly be mangled.

Another thing you might look into is where the actual place of your
sendmail.fc file is (the frozen config of sendmail).  In ultrix,
there is a SOFT link in /usr/lib/sendmail.fc -> ../../etc/sendmail.fc,
hence if you THINK your local machine has the same one than the remote
it may not be true, unless the local and remote copies of the source
(/etc/sendmail.cf) are identical.
