I had a  similar problem.  Very likely, you  doesn't changed the W_UID
and W_GID in the Makefile.  Check the user that is running the process
when you send a message to majordomo  and wrapper is activated.  To do
this, run top just  after sending a message to  majordomo.  In my case
the process  had an extraneous  "#54" in place  of the  username, that
should be "majordom". 54 is the value of UID and GID  that came in the
Makefile, whereas the values for the user majordom were 16. To fix the
problem, edit the Makefile and change the section:


....
> # If you're using a POSIX-compliant system, uncomment this set of parameters
> # and comment out the BSD settings above.
> #
> #
> W_UID = 54
> W_GID = 54
> W_CHOWN=root
> W_CHMOD=4755
.....

changing the 54 for the  UID and GID  of your majordomo user. (If  you
don't know  this, then run  "id" at the shell  prompt while  logged as
majordomo. )

Finally re-run install.
