You also need to check down to /usr/local/majordomo/lists actually.
NO, Definately do NOT change any permissions to group writable if
you want to keep sendmail happy.
You have not mentioned your hardware, operating system, or versions
of sendmail or majordomo. If you just "copied" majordomo from one
server to the other, did you make SURE that you used the same UID
and GID on both machines? I mean the number, not the name. Wrapper
is dependent on this. If sendmail is new on one machine than the
other, you may also need to add a link to wrapper in the proper
smrsh directory. Perhaps a cut and paste of the exact error message
from the log file would be helpful here too.
