# I Just installed majordomo on an SGI machine running 4.0.4 (System 5.3+ based)
  ...
# Has anyone else seen this problem? It appears to be related to perl?
# Any ideas?

This is the same old problem with "wrapper" being set-uid raising it's
ugly head again.  Check the Majordomo-Users archive
(pub/archive/majordomo-users.Z on FTP.GreatCircle.COM) for the details.

Basicly, use the revised "wrapper.c" and "Makefile" found in
pub/majordomo/wrapper.shar on FTP.GreatCircle.COM.  This revised
version of "wrapper" will be included with the next release of
Majordomo.
