I have a system very similar to yours. I found that the wrapper and
Makefile in 1.93 didn't work. I found newer versions of both on this
list's archive and I used those, and they worked.
When I tried to build wrapper and make it root, stuff didn't work. I
don't know enough unix-admin to really know why. I followed some
suggestions from the list and made a symbolic link to 'id' next to
wrapper and ran "wrapper id" to see what it came back with... it came
back as 'majordomo' instead of 'root' or 'daemon' even though that's
what I had in the makefile. So obviously the code wasn't running the
setuid properly. The new version fixed whatever the problem was.
Here's some info on my system:
in majordom/bin
-rwsr-sr-x 1 daemon majordom 24576 Feb 4 22:29 wrapper*
in majordom/lists
-rw-rw-r-- 1 daemon majordom 582 Feb 14 07:05 descent-ladder
% uname -a
SunOS missouri 4.1.1 1 sun3
Perl 4.036
Sendmail ??
In my Makefile I used all the BDS stuff:
# for BSD-based systems, this is the UID/GID "wrapper" is chown'd to
# and runs as
W_USER=daemon
W_GROUP=majordom
W_CHOWN=${W_USER}.${W_GROUP}
W_CHMOD=6755
