We run Sendmail 8.9 on Redhat Linux 7.0(kernel 2.2.16). Our helpdesk person telnets into the server, then updates the /etc/aliases file. We've made the person to be the owner of the file. However when she runs newaliases, she gets permission denied message. We don't want the person to su to become root. Any idea would be appreciated.
