 The owner of every file in the majordomo directory except wrapper should be
owned by the majordomo user.  Wrapper should be owned by root and have the
setuid bit set

chmod u+s wrapper

    Group permissions should be what ever group you assigned to MD when you
first installed it.  

    If you still have the install files it would probably be best just to
rerun the install.  None of your aliases or lists will be affected.
Everything should be overwritten and the permission set correctly. Then you
can match the permissions of the lists directory and files to those of it's
parent directory

Subject: Permissions...again.

I also get the following error message in root's e-mails.

MAJORDOMO ABORT (mj_majordomo)!!

While running with an effective uid of 1 and an effective gid of 1 5 1,
Majordomo ran into the following problems:
Unable to write to log file, check permissions on
/spare/usr/local/majordomo/Log Unable to write to list directory $listdir,
check permissions on /spare/usr/local/majordomo/lists

Yet, as far as I can tell, my permissions are correct now.

I feel that there is something incorrect about the UID and GID, but have not
yet figured out what.

BTW, thanks for all the help you people have given me so far.

Ken Gordon
