Hello!

I've read the FAQ, the mailinglist archives but found no information that
could help me.

I have Majordomo 1.94 on my old Macintosh IIci running NetBSD 1.3 (Perl
5.004). The problem is it's impossible to unsubscribe from the lists. I've
reinstalled it a couple of times, checked the Makefile, tested wrapper
config-test but still can't find what's wrong. The error is as you
probably already know: 
---
MAJORDOMO ABORT (mj_majordomo)!!

chown(1013, 1013, "/usr/local/major/lists/webmaster.new"): Operation not
permitted
---
FYI: (1013, 1013) = (major, major) is the majordomo user.

Possible errors:

Wrapper permissions, here they are:

-rwsr-xr-x  1 root   major  17151 Mar 16 21:53 wrapper*

Should something look different here ? If, please explain how the
chmod/chown/chgrp command should look like to change it.

Please respond directly to me as I'm not on the list.

Any help appreciated.
