I've been watching majordomo-owner's mail and haven't noticed these errors
lately.  Still, it was being generated...  and could be generated again.
I think I'm going to adopt a similar procedure and start all over again.
I don't like unexplainable errors...  or...  errors that are explained
to the point that they should not be a problem, but still are!  I mean, as
you have done, I've triple-checked all permissions/Makefile
options/majordomo.cf options/etc...

You mean when you have to change to an unprivileged user to run
config-test?  I thought that was just to ensure permissions were set
correctly from a users environment...  that is, to ensure users can't gain
access to config files, etc. and can access files/dirs essential to
Majordomo's operation.   My understanding was that this would all be a
moot point if ran as root or the majordom user since root has no 
restrictions and majordom owns the files/dirs.

Thanks for the info... :)
