I am new to this mailing list.  I am installing majordomo on our server
and am only doing tests right now.  I have a SparcServer 1000 running
Solaris 2.3.  I have had the same problem with the program taking a long time 
to process requests.  Right now I have only sent a "help" command and it 
takes well over half an hour to process the message.

The message coped above is from the archive directory.  In several messages
permissions of the Log file were talked about, but no on specifed what the 
correct permissions are.  Could someone tell me this?  Also, should everything
in my majordomo directory by owned by majordom and the group set to 
majordom?

Thanks so much for you help.
