# majordomo take 10-20min to process. Here is a look at the process
# table:

Any time Majordomo takes n*10 minutes to do anything, you've got a
permissions problem that's keeping it from creating a lock file; 10
minutes is the timeout for the lock creation code.  It's usually that
the directory containing some file Majordomo wants to write isn't
itself writable by the Majordomo process.  Less often, it's that the
setuid/setgid bits have disappeared off the "wrapper" program.

If the requests are succeeding, then the problem is with the locking
of the log file.
