I could use some help, I've beaten my head against a wall long enough. It's
starting to feel good.
I'm trying to install majordomo on a Linux (1.2.5) box. I'm running Perl5.001.
I have majordomo version 1.93. I've read the README file, the FAQ and the
O'Reilly file. I believe my permissions are correct; I have a user and group
called "majordom" and all the files under /usr/local/majordomo are in-fact owned
by majordomo. They all have at least 660 and in most cases 664 permissions on
said files. I've gone through and changed request-answer with the
"require shlock.pl" and changing the exec_sendmail stuff around. I've gone
through the perl scripts looking for inappropriate "@" lurking around and
changed them to "\@". The following two tests DO work correctly:
echo help | /usr/lib/sendmail -v majordomo
echo help | /usr/lib/sendmail -v sample-request
They also work correctly if sent from another machine to mine:
echo help | /usr/lib/sendmail -v majordomo@penguin.inetnebr.com
echo help | /usr/lib/sendmail -v sample-request@penguin.inetnebr.com
BUT when I try the following test:
echo "subscribe sample" | /usr/lib/sendmail -v majordomo
I get the following output:
majordomo... aliased to "| /usr/local/majordomo/bin/wrapper majordomo"
"| /usr/local/majordomo/bin/wrapper majordomo"... Connecting to penguin.inetnebr.com (prog)...
sh died because of segmentation violation (11)--requeueing message
"| /usr/local/majordomo/bin/wrapper majordomo"... Deferred
(The same result happens when I try and do anything other than the tests I've
already mentioned)
WHAT have I done wrong? After searching this long it's either a brand-spanking-
new problem that's deeply rooted and will take man-years to fix :-) or I've
overlooked something dreadfully obvious. Please point out my stupid mistake(s).
My majordomo.cf and /etc/aliases files follow:
