won't write sendmail.in.pid

[Marc Lucke]

I just upgraded to MailScanner-4.54.6-1 using the rpm and following all
instructions at the end:

service sendmail stop
chkconfig sendmail off
chkconfig --level 2345 MailScanner on
service MailScanner start

cd /etc/MailScanner
upgrade_MailScanner_conf MailScanner.conf MailScanner.conf.rpmnew >
MailScanner.new
mv -f MailScanner.conf MailScanner.old
mv -f MailScanner.new  MailScanner.conf

cd /etc/MailScanner/reports/en
upgrade_languages_conf languages.conf languages.conf.rpmnew >
languages.new mv -f languages.conf languages.old
mv -f languages.new  languages.conf

I should have also noted that I had been running MailScanner for a long
time with no problem.  This problem began "all of a sudden" a couple of
days ago.

/var/run/sendmail.in.pid does not exist at all - whether MailScanner is
started or not.  INPID is defined as /var/run/sendmail.in.pid as per
default.
