I actually went to Nancy's page looking for just that information - how to 
tell if procmail is already working with sendmail on your system. 
According to her, the sendmail on Red Hat since 4.1 is configured to use 
procmail by default. Unless Arthur has fiddled with his settings (he did 
say he was using RH 6.2), it's already running. The procmail quick start 
covers the process of confirming this at 
<http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/#steps>.

In the unlikely event that his sendmail is no longer using procmail (or 
never was) as LDA, your google search is probably the best way to go. Most 
of the general procmail resources assume "your admin" has already set it 
up. I have the lines

define(`PROCMAIL_MAILER_PATH', `/usr/bin/procmail')dnl
FEATURE(`local_procmail')dnl
and
MAILER(`procmail')dnl

in my sendmail.mc, which are probably what makes it work, but it may be 
sendmail-version-dependent.
