it doesn't make it setuid to root, that's still your job.  the rc.d
script only tells you that it's wrong.  rc.conf(5) says:

     sendmail_suidroot
                     `YES' or `NO'.  Asserts that sendmail is being used as a
                     setuid root binary and adjusts some precmd checks accord-
                     ingly.  If this is set to `YES', you can remove the sub-
                     mit.cf file, and then turn off the smmsp process.

so i guess i oughta add something there about this, eh?
