Gooday!

I was just wondering when, the 'newaliases' (sendmail -bi) command is run,
does the following errors presented below cause problems in the actually
delivery/workings of majordomo. I tried getting it to work with normal
user and root, but the same error always appears......

/etc/aliases: 7 aliases, longest 48 bytes, 218 bytes total
hash map "Alias1": unsafe map file
/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/majordomo.aliases.db: Permission denied
WARNING: cannot open alias database
/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/majordomo.aliases
Cannot create database for alias file
/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/majordomo.aliases

However when I run it as the majordom (majordomo) user itself, I get a
clean completion. 

/etc/aliases: 7 aliases, longest 48 bytes, 218 bytes total
/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/majordomo.aliases: 10 aliases, longest 128
bytes, 497 bytes total

So basically, does this pose a problem to majordomo's functionality or 
does Majordom account only need this to work?????

Kindly
Dane
