Have  you changed the  W_UID  and W_GID  section  in the Makefile? The
original   file (in the  1.93  release,  at  least) has the  following
settings:

> # 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
> 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

while you  have  to change the 54's  for   the uid  and gid   for your
"majordom" user. You can  get these numbers  by logging as  "majordom"
and running  "id"  at the shell prompt.  The  output is something like
this:

uid=16(majordom) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),16(majordom)

Then you replace in the Makefile:

> # If you're using a POSIX-compliant system, uncomment this set of parameters
> # and comment out the BSD settings above.
> #
> #
> W_UID = 16
> W_GID = 16
> 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
