sendmail error sending mail on HP-UX

Sending mail on hpux
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 691: fileclass: can not open /etc/mail/sendmail.cw: World writable directory

The permissions on /etc are incorrect -  Changed it to the HP-UX standard 555 (r-xr-xr-x) by: chmod 555 /etc  Ran a test: echo test | mailx me@mycorp.local  Received email successfully, no error message.
