Bill,

    I just got through installing Majordomo on an SCO Box myself, and this is
what you have to do with wrapper: Before compilation, you need to use the POSIX
flags in the makefile rather than the non-POSIX flags; your W_UID needs to be
the UID number for your majordom user (check that number in your /etc/passwd
file), and your G_UID needs to be the GID number for the majordom group defined
in /etc/group).
    You need to compile wrapper as root then, (su to root and type 'make') and
leave the owner name as root. Type  chmod 6755 wrapper  to give the file the
right permissions so it can 'su' to the proper uid and gid while in execution.

                                                                  - Giraldo
