  I've never installed majordomo so I don't know if this is the problem
or not, but one thing that comes to mind is that some versions of UN*X
don't like user/group names longer than 8 characters (majordomo is 9), and 
they can do funny things.  This might be the problem; probably not, but 
I just thought I'd throw that out there just in case...
