Dunno DEC Alpha, but some things to try, check:
1. maybe some other permissions are wrong - what are the perms on
majordomo itself ?
2. Is the path #!/usr/local/bin/perl in line 1 of majordomo right ?
3. Is the permission of wrapper right ? suid root (recommended for
POSIX situations)
4. You could try making sure that the prog mailer works:
alias: "| /bin/tee /tmp/a"
see if mail to alias ends up in /tmp/a
5. You could make sure that wrapper works:
Recompile
cc -DBIN=\"/bin\" -o wrapper2 wrapper.c
put wrapper2 in /usr/local/bin, 755
make an alias
alias2: "| /usr/local/bin/wrapper2 tee /tmp/b"
and see if mail to alias2 comes out in /tmp/b.
(Remove these aliases afterwards).
6. (Does #!work ?)
