I am trying to install majordomo-1.93 on a HP 700/15 workstation running
HPUX 9.03 (POSIX-like).  We use sendmail and perl 5.001.  I know
majordomo is not proven with 5.001 but we don't have version 4.

the error message I get is:

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

The help part of the output is mailed to me and looks alright, but it
only prints part of the lists command output:

This is Brent Chapman's "Majordomo" mailing list manager, version 1.93. 

[bulk of helpfile deleted for brevity]

If you have any questions or problems, please contact
"pres".

>>>> lists
listserv serves the following lists:

222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222

It ends right there.

Now for some background on the current setup.

1)  We are calling it listserv because everyone on the lists is used to
it since we were running MrTULP until recently.  It seems unlikely that
this is the problem anyway.

2)  The aliases look like this:

list-errors: pres@starfire.ne.uiuc.edu
listserv : "|/usr/local/majordomo-1.93/wrapper majordomo"
owner-listserv : pres@starfire.ne.uiuc.edu
listserv-owner : pres@starfire.ne.uiuc.edu
test: :include:/usr/local/mail/lists/test
owner-test: pres
test-owner: pres
test-request: "|/usr/local/majordomo-1.93/wrapper request-answer test"
test-approval: pres

3)  I think the permissions are alright but for the curious:

4)  For completeness, here is the configuration file:

/usr/local/majordomo-1.93/majordomo.cf  (there is a symb link in /etc also)


# $whereami -- What machine am I running on?
$whereami = "starfire.ne.uiuc.edu";

$whoami = "listserv@$whereami";

# $whoami_owner -- Who is the owner of the above, in case of problems?
$whoami_owner = "pres@$whereami";

# $homedir -- Where can I find my extra .pl files, like majordomo.pl?
# the environment variable HOME is set by the wrapper
if ( defined $ENV{"HOME"}) {
     $homedir = $ENV{"HOME"};
} else {
     $homedir = "/usr/local/majordomo-1.93";
}

# $listdir -- Where are the mailing lists?
$listdir = "/usr/local/mail/lists";

# $digest_work_dir -- the parent directory for digest's queue area
# Each list must have a subdirectory under this directory in order for
# digest to work. E.G. The bblisa list would use:
# 	/usr/local/mail/digest/bblisa
# as its directory.
$digest_work_dir = '/usr/local/mail/digest';

# $log -- Where do I write my log?
$log = "$homedir/Log";

# $mailer -- What program and args do I use to send mail?
# The variable $to can be interpolated into this command line,
# however the $to variable is provided by the person sending mail,
# and much mischief can be had by playing with this variable.
# Use $to with care.
$mailer = "/usr/lib/sendmail -f\$sender -t";

# Majordomo will look for "get" and "index" files related to $list in
# directory "$filedir/$list$filedir_suffix", so set $filedir and
# $filedir_suffix appropriately.  For instance, to look in
# /usr/local/mail/files/$list, use:
#   $filedir = "/usr/local/mail/files";
#   $filedir_suffix = "";		# empty string
# or to look in $listdir/$list.archive, use:
#   $filedir = "$listdir";
#   $filedir_suffix = ".archive";

$filedir = "$listdir";
$filedir_suffix = ".archive";

# What command should I use to process an "index" request?
$index_command = "/bin/ls -lR";

# If you want to use FTPMAIL, rather than local access, for file transfer
# and access, define the following:
#   $ftpmail_address = "ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com";
#   $ftpmail_location = "FTP.$whereami";

# if you want the subject of the request to be included as part of the
# subject of the reply (useful when automatically testing, or submitting
# multiple command sets), set $return_subject to 1.
$return_subject = 1;

# If you are using majordomo at the -request address, set the
# following variable to 1. This affects the welcome message that is
# sent to a new subscriber as well as the help text that is generated.
$majordomo_request = 0;

# Set the umask for the process. Used to set default file status for
# config file.
umask(007);

# the safe locations for archive directories. This should be defined as
# a series of root anchored directory paths as will be used as prefixes
# to the file names specified to the archive2.pl script.
@archive_dirs = ( "/spool/archive/bblisa", "/usr/spool/archive/firewalls" );


# Set this to 1 if you want to use the experimental mechanism for allowing
# / in user names. People with lots of X.400 addresses on their lists or
# HP mail whatever may want to set this. However use it at your own risk.
$analyze_slash_in_address = 0;

#
# these tune the experimental matching that is done for addresses with / in
# them. If you haven't turned on the experimental analyze_slash_in_address
# they are ignored. See the source for full explanation of these variables.

# if set to 1 ignore the requirement that addresses have an @ sign in the
# address component after the last /.
$no_x400at=0;

Any help on this would be great.  Currently I have 5 mailing lists that
are at a stand still.....  eeek.
