Default root without permission

root@perun:~# uptime| mail druid

root@perun:~# can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): Permission denied
Program mode requires special privileges, e.g., root or TrustedUser.

Whats wrong!?

drwxrwx---**2*root*root*4096*May*13*00:00*clientmqueue/

That directory has to belong to the smmsp user by default. (It's a
sendmail security thing.)

$ ls -ld /var/spool/clientmqueue/
drwxrwx--- 2 smmsp smmsp 1024 2004-05-15 01:39 /var/spool/clientmqueue/
