Okay, here is more information... (and of course in trying to fix this
I've gotten part way but now have other related problems ;-)

I'm pretty sure almost everything is set up correctly.  I know it's a
permission problem.  Things run fine if I run them from user
'majordom'.  But, if I try to subscribe from a list as user 'test' I
get errors because apparantly it's executing the wrapper as user
'test' ... I've tried setting the execution user & group IDs on the
wrapper to no avail.  It's set to run as daemon.  Daemon is part of
the majordom group.  The directories are owned by user majordom group
majordom.  What am I overlooking? Any suggestions?


Aliases are set up as follows:

listname: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -p bulk -M 10000 -l listname
        -f Listname-Owner -h Xyzzy.COM -s listname-outgoing"
owner-listname:          listname-owner
listname-outgoing:       :include:/install/lists/listname,
                "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper archive2.pl -a -m
                        -f /install/lists/archive/listname/listname.archive"
majordomo: "|/install/majordomo/wrapper majordomo"
[and a few others pointing to each other deleted for sake of brevity]


Errors I now get are:

Can't append to /install/lists/listname: Permission denied
ABORT Can't append to /install/lists/listname: Permission denied at 
/usr/local/majordomo/majordomo.pl line 209.
"|/install/majordomo/wrapper majordomo"... unknown mailer error 13

As noted above, I get the above when sending a subscribe message as
'test' ... works fine if I run it as 'majordom'
