I have just installed majordomo 1.94.4 and sendmail 8.9.1 on a i586
running Linux. With this config I supposedly am able to setup links in
my sendmail.cf file to outside aliases files such as
/usr/majordomo-1.9.4/majordomo.aliases. I setup this and another
list-based aliases file. When I execute newaliases, it comes back to me
with the following error:

"WARNING: Group writable directory /usr/majordomo-1.94.4/lists
newaliases: cannot open /usr/majordomo-1.94.4/lists/test.aliases: Group
writable file
/etc/aliases: 16 aliases, longest 29 bytes, 208 bytes total
newaliases: cannot open /usr/majordomo-1.94.4/majordomo.aliases: Group
writable file"

I have checked the owners and groups of these files and folders and I
think they are correct, but have included them below anyway:

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
