Hi again,
the old server was: Solaris 2.6 with Sendmail 8.8.8 running on E450
the new server is: Solaris 8 with Sendmail 8.11.6 running on V480
Majordomo 1.94.5
I only copied the lists. The lists directory was created by the
majordomo installation.
Then changed owner on the lists and list.config files.
Uid still the same, but other group. Now I'm using group daemon before
majord had an own group.
In the Log file this error isn't logged.
I don't understand the linking and the smrsh thing.
And the group writable issue shouldn't be bothering as group has no
write permission the hole path down to majordomo.
Thank for help.
Maurizio

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.
