Hi,
The machine that is running majordomo/majorcool is our internal WWW
server. (merlin)
The machine that is configured as mailhost for ornet can reach the
majordomo account via NFS. (ornet)
Installing majordomo and running the wrapper from any user, has no
problem when it is executed on the local machine (merlin).
Running the wrapper from the mailhost machine (ornet), the wrapper
fails to set the real/effective UID/GID
[Q1] What mount options I need? (suid?, grpid?)
[Q2] What export options I need? (root=mailhost)
[Q3] Some automounter config needed (we use `amd')
We run SunOS 4.1.4 on both machines, the majordomo account is
automounted via the `amd' daemon on the mailhost.
I discovered the problem, the first time a user wanted to unsubscribe
from the list.
Thanks for your Help!
--- Ricky.
P.D. Here are the examples:
For example, if I login in the localhost (merlin), as a
non-priviledged user (test), running the wrapper on config-test I get:
(running ./wrapper config-test in the correct location)

Nothing bad found! Majordomo _should_ work correctly.
If it doesn't, check your configuration file
(/u/majordom/1.94.3/majordomo.cf)
closely, and if it still looks okay, consider asking the majordomo-users
mailing list at "majordomo-users@greatcircle.com" for assistance. Be sure
and fully specify what your problems are, and what type of machine (and
operating system) you are using.
Enjoy!
Now running the same from the mailhost (ornet), I get the following:
