Hello,

I was wondering if someone could answer a (hopefully) simple question 
for me?  I am mailing majordomo with the following:

--
approve admin.tigetest unsubscribe tigetest mbutsche@blah.com
--

I then receive the following error message:

--
MAJORDOMO ABORT (mj_majordomo)!!

chown(123, 2, "/var/majordomo/lists/tigetest.new"): Operation not permitted
--

Here are the permissions on the file in question:
-rw-rw-r--    1 majordom 45              0 Mar 28 11:51 tigetest.new

I believe that the problem is the "45" GID.  It's obviously not in my 
password file.  Everything else in my /var/majordomo/lists directory is 
owned by  majordomo:daemon.

Is there an easy way around this or to change the GID that majordomo 
uses for creating this file?

Any help would be much appreciated!!!  I read the FAQ and it mentions 
this error message may be a wrapper problem, but when I run the 
"./wrapper config-test" as a non-root and non-majordom user it ran just 
fine with no errors!

Thanks for any help or suggestions,

Tige
