I have tried to get majordomo running and having problems.  I know it must
be something obvious staring me right in the eye.  We are also running
sendmail 8.9.2  Here is my setup:


drwxrwxr-x   7 smtp     majordom    1024 Jan 24 07:59 majordomo 
drwxrwxrwx   3 smtp     majordom    7680 Jan 24 07:59 lists

example of a list

-rwxr--r--   1 majordom majordom    3863 Jan 19 15:11 tec2008
    
-rwxr--r--   1 root     other          9 Jan 18 15:44 tec2008.admin
    
-rwxr--r--   1 root     other      14828 Aug 16 13:58 tec2008.config
    
-rwxr--r--   1 root     other        137 Aug 16 13:58 tec2008.info
    
-rwxr-xr--   1 majordom majordom       0 Jan 20 08:51 tec2008.new
    
-rwxr--r--   1 root     other          9 Aug 16 13:58 tec2008.passwd 


Here is the results of the wrapper test.

------------------------------------------------------------
    

    
        Non obvious things that cause headaches:
    

    
------------------------------------------------------------
    
Good: 'require'd /usr/local/majordomo/majordomo.cf okay.
    
Good: found ctime.pl okay.
    
Good: found majordomo_version.pl okay.
    
Good: found majordomo.pl okay.
    
Good: found shlock.pl okay.
    
Good: found config_parse.pl okay.
    

You're running Majordomo Version 1.94.4.
    

    
--==> Majordomo home directory is /usr/local/majordomo.
    
------------------- Include directories -------------------
    
        /usr/local/majordomo
    
        /usr/local/lib/perl5/sun4-solaris/5.00404
    
        /usr/local/lib/perl5
    
        /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/sun4-solaris
    
        /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
    
        .
    
--------------------------- Home ---------------------------
    
Good: changedir to /usr/local/majordomo succeeded.
    
Good: Created a mock lock file.
    
---------------------- temp directory ----------------------
    
Good: Created a temp file in $TMPDIR (/usr/tmp).
    
---------------------- list directory ----------------------
    
Good: list directory /usr/local/majordomo/lists has good permissions.
    
--------------------------- log ---------------------------
    
Good: logfile /usr/local/majordomo/Log exists and is writeable.
    
------------------------- Mailers -------------------------
    
You have defined a mailer for delivery.
    
Attempting to verify that this is a valid mailer...looks okay.
    
You have defined a mailer for delivering administrative messages.
    
Attempting to verify that this is a valid mailer...looks okay. 
------------------ Checking majordomo.cf ------------------
    
Checking to see if there are new variables that should be in
    
your majordomo.cf file...
    
New configuration variables (see sample.cf):
    
        $config'default_subscribe_policy
    

    
Have you configured where Majordomo is?
    
        $whereami is fresno.edu
    
Good: yup!
    
----------------------- end of tests -----------------------
    

    

    
Nothing bad found!  Majordomo _should_ work correctly.
    

    
If it doesn't, check your configuration file
    
        (/usr/local/majordomo/majordomo.cf)
    
closely, and if it still looks okay, consider asking the majordomo-users
    
mailing list at "majordomo-users@greatcircle.com" for assistance.  Be sure
    
and fully specify what your problems are, and what type of machine (and
    
operating system) you are using.
    

    
Enjoy!
