Hi.

I've been running a majordomo site on SGI equipment for over a year now 
without any problems, and today I tried setting up a site (yes, from 
scratch) on a Linux box. Unfortunately, I have run into the following 
problem:

My /etc/aliases file currently looks like this:

############################
# General majordomo aliases
############################
majordomo:"|/home/majordom/wrapper majordomo"
owner-majordomo: jvagner
majordomo-owner: jvagner

############################
# Test mailing list (testing)
############################

testing::include:"/home/majordom/mail/lists/testing"
owner-testing:jvagner
testing-request:"|/home/majordom/wrapper request-answer testing"
testing-approval:jvagner

(Yes, I have tried it without the quotes on the /testing/ and 
/majordomo/ aliases).

I originally tried to use the full-bodied aliases I had going on the 
other machine (I had a testing list there, too, so I changed the 
relevant information and attempted to use those aliases).

I've since compiled majordomo from scratch, and created the testing list 
and aliases from scratch on the new machine. I looked through the 
relevant documentation and couldn't find any mention of Linux or this 
problem.

Thank you for any assistance you might be able to provide.
