Subject: permission problems with majordomo

I have read that most problems with Majordomo are to do with permissions,
and that seems to be the case here. but scanning the FAQs and archives i
can't find any reference to my particular problem.

The wrapper config-test worked fine (no errors), and I can interact with
majordomo generally via email (subscribe/unsubscribe, issue 'lists'
commands, etc.). All works OK, though I do get the following warning:

X-Authentication-Warning: hyperion.bridgenet.ch: majordomo set sender to
Majordomo-Owner@bridgenet.ch using -f

The problem is that when i try to send a mail to the list, the mail is
returned with the following error:

/home/majordomo/wrapper: error: insecure usage
550 "|/home/majordomo/wrapper resend@/home/majordomo/lists/awc.resend"...
Insufficient permission: Error 0

I set this up following the instruction s in the O'reilly 'mailing lists'
book.

Below, are the contents of the awc.resend file, /etc/aliases,
/home/majordomo, and /home/majordomo/lists.

Any ideas greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

Phil
