OK, I'm new to this list and to the majordomo suite of programs.

I finally got it going, after turning my grey hair greyer.

Consider the following:

>From the Makefile:

W_MAJORDOMO_CF=/etc/majordomo.cf
 
WRAPPER_FLAGS = -DBIN=\"${W_BIN}\" -DPATH=\"PATH=${W_PATH}\"    \
        -DHOME=\"HOME=${W_HOME}\" -DSHELL=\"SHELL=${W_SHELL}\"  \
        -DMAJORDOMO_CF=\"MAJORDOMO_CF=${W_MAJORDOMO_CF}\"
 
Notice that is has "/etc/majordomo.cf" as the configuration file.  When
installing the software, the sample.cf is copied into the home directory
as majordomo.cf.  That file is obviously incorrect, since the good one is
in /etc.  The problem is that wrapper appears to be setting the MAJORDOMO_CF
environment variable wrong, since the following line sets the WRONG config
file.

$cf = $ENV{"MAJORDOMO_CF"} || "/etc/majordomo.cf";

I know that it is setting the wrong path because if I symbolic link
the majordomo.cf file to /etc/majordomo.cf, things start to work.

What is wrapper doing wrong?  Did I do something wrong?

Thanks for any pointers.
