Subject: Majordomo works, but not resend, request-answer

Hello,

I have just installed Majordomo in my system, and I'm having the following
problem:

When I use just majordomo alias "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper majordomo", that works.  I can get info on a particular list, subscribe, unsubscribe, etc.

Problem is, I can't use any of the other programs, such as resend, request-answer, etc.  When I try running sendmail in verbose mode, I get an error "permission denied, can't create output".

Yes, I know what you're thinking, permissions are not set correctly, but, I have
tried the most promiscuous permissions (777 and 555) and still doesn't work.

What puzzles me is, why can majordomo work, but the other programs can't.

Here's some technical info:

My OS: BSDI
Majordomo version: 1.93

Majordomo home directory : /usr/local/majordomo
Majordomo UID: 60, GID: 60

Makefile significant lines:

	W_BIN=/usr/local/majordomo
	W_PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb
	W_HOME=${W_BIN}
	W_SHELL=/bin/csh
	W_MAJORDOMO_CF=$(W_BIN)/majordomo.cf
	W_UID = 60
	W_GID = 60
	W_CHOWN=root
	W_CHMOD=4755
	WRAPPER_FLAGS = -DBIN=\"${W_BIN}\" -DPATH=\"PATH=${W_PATH}\" \
       	-DHOME=\"HOME=${W_HOME}\" -DSHELL=\"SHELL=${W_SHELL}\" \
        -DMAJORDOMO_CF=\"MAJORDOMO_CF=${W_MAJORDOMO_CF}\"       \
        -DPOSIX_UID=${W_UID} -DPOSIX_GID=${W_GID} -DSETGROUP     

The wrapper is owned by root, group majordomo, and has SUID set.

I have read the Readme, the most recent FAQ, etc.  Now I'm turning to this list
for help since I don't know what I should do next.

Any help is appretiated.
