Help!

I find I can't get Majordomo to work unless I set the permissions on its
directory structure open to the world, and even then I have problems.

I've got the binaries (& perl stuff) in /usr/local/majordomo and the
list stuff, log, and archive in /install/lists ...

I think I followed all the instructions, but even when I set the
permissions on the directories to 777 I get the following error when I
try to send something to the list. 

550 /install/lists/archive/listname... Can't create output

By the way, the wrapper is owned by daemon, group majordomo. Its
permissions are 6775.  Also, it never creates a log file or gives me
an error that it can't.

I'm sure it's something stupid I'm overlooking.  I have no idea why
the permissions need to be set so loosely on the main directory
structures.  That bothers me too.

		Any help would be appreciated.
