[ale] lockf() ? Sendmail is crapping out

[Michael David Ivey]

I don't know if my previous post got out or not...I am not sure if I can 
get any mail in.

I'm having a problem with sendmail, the /var/adm/messages part looks like 
this:

Jun 11 14:28:38 gstv sendmail[387]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(majordom): cannot 
lockf(/etc/aliases.dir, fd=3, type=10, omode=37777777777, euid=0): Device 
or resource busy
Jun 11 14:28:39 gstv sendmail[387]: OAA00387: SYSERR(majordom): cannot 
lockf(/etc/aliases.dir, fd=3, type=1, omode=37777777777, euid=0): Device 
or resource busy
Jun 11 14:28:39 gstv sendmail[387]: OAA00387: SYSERR(majordom): cannot 
lockf(/etc/aliases.dir, fd=3, type=10, omode=37777777777, euid=0): Device 
or resource busy


I get it for all mail.  And when I try to run newaliases.  

If you have any suggestions, please leave me a voice mail @ 
404-485-7662.  Mail appears to be going out, but not coming in.

Thanks.
