Yes, I found the new location - and I I have applied the rm_digest.patch
(at ftp://ftp.amulation.com/pub/majordomo_patches/) to remove footers and
headers from the digests before they go out but I am now getting the
following error message 

MAJORDOMO ABORT (mj_digest)!!

Can't get lock for
/usr/local/majordomo/sports-lists/list-nhlrangers-digest.config

Digests were working fine before applying the patch.  And if I comment out
the new patch code, they work fine again.

It looks like something is now creating a file in the lists directory called
list-nhlrangers-digest.config.LOCK
The file is owned by majordom and permissions are 660 with a file size of
only 6 bytes.  Inside the file is a number 18146
that's it.

I have tried changing the permissions to 640 and removing the .LOCK file,
but neither seem to solve the problem.  I keep getting the error message.

Any ideas on what might be wrong?

Jerry
