you need to know the ORIGINAL uid and gid of the majordomo user for the
wrapper program that you installed... otherwise, you'll need to get the
majordomo distribution and compile wrapper for your own environment...

the installation could have completed correctly, but wrapper is
unuasble...

Setting up majordomo on linux isn't hard... but you'll need to compile and
reinstall wrapper at a mininum... Then you'll have to chase all the local
configuration stuff in majordomo.cf and any list configuration files =)
