Thanks for the advice Chip.  I tried your suggestion but could not get it to
work after putting a couple of hours into it.  No matter what I did, I get
unknown user...  I tried use_ct_file and also tried
define('confTRUSTED_USERS', `majordom').  Here is my MC file (without the
changes)...  Could the other features be interfering?  This were already set
up by Apple for Mac OS X server...
