I am installing the latest version of majordomo and have run across a
problem that I seem to be at a loss to solve.  I don't think that it
is a majordomo problem, but it might be.  The system that this is
being installed on is bsd/386 from bsdi.

The problem is that if wrapper is as follows

-rwsr-sr-x  1 daemon  mjrdomo  23287 Feb  2 14:55 wrapper*

majordomo-owner gets the following mail when majordomo is sent a request

If I change the ownership of wrapper to root, everything works like it
should.

If anyone has any helpful hints concerning this I would love to hear
them.  Also, if there aren't any hints, maybe what the possible risks
of leaving wrapper owned by root are.

Thanks.
