When i remember, there was an update of sendmail in march, wait, i will 
grep that for you:

25 of march my system was update with sendmail-8.12.11-4.22.9.legacy and 
then was problem with AUTH - mail from local lan were rejected, so i 
greep mailing list, irc and i made: alternatives --configure mta so 
(when i can well remember) this command rebuild all broken symlink, in 
/etc/pam.d too.

After that, there cam another update of sendmail, 
sendmail-8.12.11-4.22.10.legacy which broke again AUTH, i fix that by 
making necessery symbolic links by hand, i make that quickly, 
alternatives --config mail didn't make necessry symlinks (wired ?).

Saddly, but all these boxes are production servers, so i have no time to 
do further investigation.

Sory, but i can't experiment for that, it is production box and we are 
planning to move to CentOS.
