Indeed!  Especially since the latest version of sendmail runs completely
differently than any previous versions.  It now invokes two copies of itself
-- one that runs as non-root and one that is -- so that it no longer needs to
be SUID-root.

In any case, it runs one to collect on the SMTP port -- and one to do local
mail processing.

So, I'm not exactly sure what the "up2date" script would have done as far as
that goes...
