MAJORDOMO VERSION:  1.93

Hi,
   I retrieved majordomo 1.93 from the ftp site and proceeded to install
it following the procedures given, including the 'make' operations to
built, compile (wrapper) and install the package. 

Now, unfortunately the Majordomo seems to be deaf as it does not
want to do anything for me :( I tested with the help message and
got nothing on my mail box, the `ps' command did not show any
majordomo or perl processes running. Here I am attaching the results
(smail) of the command, as well as a listing of important directories
showing the permissions etc. Could anybody spot a problem and tell
me WHAT is not right?

		Thanks in advance,
					Emilio
