First the question: Is it *necessary* for the list owner to be the owner
of majordomo? Will being in the same group as majordomo (with write
privilege, of course) be sufficient?
Below is my little experience with majordomo (version 1.94.4), still
not working :(. under Debian/GNU Linux. Debian has a majordomo package
but it is installed in a slightly different way. The scripts files are
owned by root:root (in /usr/lib/majordomo) and the lists directory tree
is own by majordom:majordom in some place under /var. My reading of the
documentation was that the list owner need only belong to the majordomo
group with write privilege and she/he will be able to handle all list
administration. Setting up the new list as an ordinary user, subscribing
and posting messages presents no permission problem. The trouble occurs
when one tried to unsubscribe.
Another information (which may not be relevant): the MTA is smail and
not sendmail but apparently I get all aliases working.
One little request: Can anyone explain more about the function of the
wrapper?
Cheers,
ST
