Well, again:
The setup here is:
HP 735/125
HP-UX 10.20
GCC 2.95.2
Perl 5.6.0
Sendmail 8.6 (Plus)
Added the user domo (UID 113)
Added groups in /etc/group for list (GID 600), of which group the user
domo is a member. (User domo's primary GID is 600)
In addition, in the /etc/group file, I have separate groups for each of
the lists we wish to serve, and the user domo is a member of each of THOSE
groups also. The files associated with each list are then owned by domo,
and the group-owner is domo and whoever is administering that particular
list.
SUing (as root) to domo, and issuing the command groups shows domo
belonging to the correct groups.
Edited the /etc/mail/aliases file according to instructions.
Here are those lines for the list in question:
-------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Majordomo
#
majordomo: "|/spare/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper majordomo"
majordomo-owner: root
owner-majordomo: root
--------------------------------------------------------------------
And...

# GLowbugs Mailing list

glowbugs:"|/spare/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l glowbugs glowbugs-list"
glowbugs-list: :include:/spare/usr/local/majordomo/lists/glowbugs
owner-glowbugs: cmurray
glowbugs-owner: cmurray
glowbugs-request: "|/spare/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper majordomo -l glowbugs"
glowbugs-approval: cmurray

After installing majordomo, which went without a hitch, ran ./wrapper
config-test. Results tell me that there are no errors and that majordomo
should run.
It doesn't.
RE-installed majordomo. Still no joy.
Every time anyone tries to mail to any of the lists, the list
administrator gets the following sort of message back (with the
bookeeping junk edited out):
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <MAILER-DAEMON>
To: owner-glowbugs@piobaire.mines.uidaho.edu
Subject: Returned mail: glowbugs-list... aliasing/forwarding loop broken
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
glowbugs-list
:include:/spare/usr/local/majordomo/lists/glowbugs
(expanded from: glowbugs-list)
----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 :include:/spare/usr/local/majordomo/lists/glowbugs... Cannot open
/spare/usr/local/majordomo/lists/glowbugs: Group writable directory
554 glowbugs-list... aliasing/forwarding loop broken"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
EVERYTHING ELSE works! I can subscribe, administrative messages get sent
to the proper people, etc.
I am about to tear what little hair I have left out by the roots.
Can someone help? All this worked with the old version (1.92)...
