can not write to queue directory, only works if chmoded to 777

[Ruben Sanchez Lopez-Tofiņo <ruben @ info-ab . uclm . es>]

first, I'm sorry but my english is very bad.


I have installed last version of majordomo and I've a problem:

all go good during instalaltion, but when I do:  echo 'help' | mail 
listserv:

[majordom@al-basit majordomo]$ echo 'help' | mail listserv
[majordom@al-basit majordomo]$ WARNING: RunAsUser for MSP ignored, check 
group ids (egid=12, want=77)
can not write to queue directory /var/spool/clientmqueue/ (RunAsGid=0, 
required=77): Permission denied


I definded MAIL_GID = 77 in Makefile, and I added majordom user to 77 
group, but that no solved nothing

as in this machine nobody login, finaly I do:

chmod 777 /var/spool/clientmqueue

and majordomo work fine, but this is a dirty solution. There are other 
best solution?

Thanks.

Salu2 y gracias.
