This may be an indication of a broken Majordomo (despite any appearance
of it working fine). The main CGI simply invokes Majordomo's wrapper on
another pseudo-CGI to ensure that its permissions match that of
Majordomo. It then proceeds to read the supporting files.
If it can't read the files, it means the script is not running with the
correct perms. Therefore, one could conclude that wrapper is not setuid
as far as the web server can see.
I also have to ask the question: if it worked fine before, yet stopped
working when 'Webmin' was installed, why not look into the other app to
see what it mucked with? In this situation, MajorCool failed because of
some external event. Go investigate the cause, not the symptom.
