I just installed majordomo on Linux, also. It acted exactly the same
way. I had to use the reset button on my Linux machine for the first
time in months. For me, it was a matter of being very careful with
the aliases and getting the rights correct. I am still not sure they
are perfect, but it works.
Make sure you compile wrapper for a POSIX-compliant OS. I set
W_UID = 15
W_GID = 16
You should use the User id and Group Id for majordomo from
your /etc/group and /etc/passwd file.
The directories are all owned by majordomo and in
group majordomo with mode 775 ... The files are all
the same with mode 664.
Good Luck.
Here is a sample of my aliases. If anyone sees anything
I should change, I am open:
