I'm just starting with majordomo (haven't even compiled it yet) but I found a small typo in the INSTALL doc: 1) Pick a group and user ID for Majordomo to run under. Usually this is "majordomo.daemon". If you're this group, you can do all the majordomo management functions (creating new lists, etc.) without having to "su" to Majordomo. You can create and use a group id other than "daemon" if you want, but if you do, that UID needs to be a "trusted" user as far as Sendmail is concerned (i.e., the user name needs to appear on a "T" line in your sendmail.cf file). I believe the "UID" is meant to be "GID", or else it means something I do not understand.

Basicly, the user you choose (whether that is "majordomo" or whatever) needs to be listed in a "T" line in your sendmail.cf file. The group can be whatever you'd like (a new one, an existing one, whatever). -Brent -- Brent Chapman Internet/intranet training and consulting, Brent@GreatCircle.COM specializing in network design and security.
