# Hi

# I am trying to setup majordomo on a Solaris 2.1 system.
# I think that I have all of the permissions correct, but I get
# the following bounce. Can someone tell me what insecure usage

You must specify the program argument to "wrapper" WITHOUT a full
path.  "wrapper" looks in one and only one directory (defined at
compile time) for the programs it will run, for security reasons (to
keep somebody from using "wrapper" to run some other random program).
