I just signed up to the list and I'm sure whether this message has
gotten through - I haven't recieved any mail from the users list.  I'll
post again

majordomo 1.94.4
perl 5.004_1
SparcLinux on a Sun SparcStation4 (Sun4m)
sendmail 8.8.5-4

I installed majordomo user the user 'listserv' (I didn't like
'majordom') with the group 'deamon'. I have the 'wrapper config-test'
wroking well for a basic user 'udall' with no detectable errors.

When I email brassica_group-request with 'config brassica_group passwd'
I get an error 'Can't create output: Permission denied' as the subject
line in a message to the list's owner.

Any suggestions why I can't get a config response?  The config file
*was* created upon the request but not sent to the listower because of
'Can't create output: Permission denied'.  Please help.  I burnt a lot
of candle was last night trying to get my first list setup with no luck
and I'm exasperated.


Below contains setup configuration information:


'wrapper config-test' output:
USER=udall
HOME=/usr1/local/majordomo
   effective user  = listserv (uid 513)
   effective group = daemon udall admin lab webheads users (gid 2 500
103 102 101 100 )
   real      user  = listserv (uid 513)
   real      group = daemon udall admin lab webheads users (gid 2 500
103 102 101 100 )



Some of the aliases required:
The first list I want to sent up is 'brassica_group'.  I have the
-request variable set to 1. The sendmail alias set to:
brassica_group:
        "|/usr1/local/majordomo/wrapper resend
@/usr1/local/majordomo/lists/brassica_group.resend"
brassica_group-napus:
:include:/usr1/local/majordomo/lists/brassica_group
brassica_group-request:
        "/usr1/local/majordomo/wrapper majordomo -l  brassica_group"



Permissions:
Permission 755 are set for both $home and $home/wrapper.
-rwsr-xr-x   1 root     daemon       9681 Oct 13 23:42 wrapper
