Hello all....

I certainly hope that someone can help me out of this situation, b/c I'm
stumped.  I have probably installed majordomo 10 different times (I
believe my last install was 1.93 ;)  ), but now it's throwing me for a
"loop" (no punn intended).

I have set everything up as per the INSTALL, and can get some of it to
co-operate, but not all of it.  I am a little stumped when the INSTALL
says to:

   Chdir to the Majordomo home and (as a regular, unprivileged user, not
   the Majordomo user or root) run the configuration test script:

I do this and although I cannot "ls" in the directory, I can run ./wrapper
config-test.  Is this normal???

I then did a touch on /usr/test/majordomo-1.94.1/lists/test as "majordomo"
and all is well.

Then I set up my /etc/aliases:

test:             :include:/usr/test/majordomo-1.94.1/test
owner-test:       tjbynum,
test-request:     "|/usr/test/majordomo-1.94/wrapper request-answer test"
test-approval:    tjbynum

I issue echo subscribe test|mail majordomo

I soon get replies back and all seems to be working just fine, but then
when I try to mail "test" something I get the following error:

<test@wallybox.cei.net>  (unrecoverable error)
:include:/usr/test/majordomo-1.94.1/test  (unrecoverable error)
    (expanded from: <test@wallybox.cei.net>)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 :include:/usr/test/majordomo-1.94.1/test... Cannot open
/usr/test/majordomo-1.94.1/test: No such file or directory
Message delivered to mailing list <test@wallybox.cei.net>
554 <test@wallybox.cei.net>... aliasing/forwarding loop broken

Why is this happening and what can I do to fix it?

Here is my current setup, maybe this will shed some light on the subject

==============
Red Hat Linux release 4.0 (Colgate) (I was using Slackware before when it
worked)
Kernel 2.0.18
sendmail-8.7.5-5
majordomo UID=501 GID=501 
	majordomo::501:501::/home/majordomo:/bin/bash
	majordomo::501:majordomo


Here is a listing of dir structure under which majordomo resides:

drwxr-xr-x   3 majordom daemon       1024 Jan  6 03:06 test

                                                        \ /
-rw-r--r--   1 majordom majordom       25 Jan  6 03:10 test

Any help would be greatly appreciated....  ;)

Regards,
Tim
