Tracing system calls of sendmail

Dear All,

I need to trace all the system calls made and signals recieved by the process "sendmail". i use the strace command to do this, but in case of sendmail, the strace command fails. It shows something like, "operation not permitted".. how can i trace the system calls of sendmail? Please help me.. thanks

Just a guess:

Sendmail will be run SUID root. Perhaps you need to be root to run strace on it...
Are you trying to strace the server daemon, or just one of the temporary queue runs?
