I am having a problem installing majordomo. Here is my system info:
Majordomo Version: 1.94.5
Perl version 5.00503
OS: Linux2.2.18
Mailer: Sendmail8.8.7
I made it to the last step where I issued the 'lists' command -
10. Test the configuration again by creating an empty file 'test' in
$listdir, and issue a 'lists' command to Majordomo:
% touch /path/to/majordomo/lists/test
% echo 'lists' | mail majordomo
I get the following error -
[root@sesgweb lists]# hash map "Alias1": unsafe map file
/home/mcuadm/src/majordom/majordomo.aliases.db: Group writable directory
So I looked through the archives and found that many have problems at
this step and I found one that was similar to mine but the response for
that one did not work for me.
Someone else reported the error -
Issuing an echo lists | mail majordomo on my fBSD 3.3 system
with sendmail returns this error:
% Cannot open hash database /opt/majordomo.aliases.db:
Inappropriate file type or format
--------------------
The response he got was -
Most likely, your separate aliases file for majordomo is
not located in a sendmail safe directory or owned by root.
Try creating a link from /opt/majordomo.aliases to /etc/mail
and in your sendmail.cf use that link as an additional
aliases file.
As root do;
`ln -s /opt/majordomo.aliases /etc/mail` (I used my own pathname.)
In sendmail.cf
# location of alias file
O AliasFile=/etc/aliases, /etc/mail/majordomo.aliases
Restart sendmail
Maybe `newaliases` or `sendmail -bi`
---------------
This worked for him but when I restart sendmail. This is what I get:
[root@sesgweb mail]# newaliases
WARNING: Group writable directory /home/mcuadm
WARNING: Group writable directory /home/mcuadm/src
hash map "Alias2": unsafe map file

/etc/aliases: 15 aliases, longest 49 bytes, 226 bytes total
/etc/mail/majordomo.aliases: 19 aliases, longest 121 bytes, 1131 bytes
total
I am not a sys admin so I don't understand these errors.
Can someone help?
