Jason,

I found that this:

Should the SETID wrappers be installed?
 Majordomo needs to be able to run as the proper user no matter who is
  running it.  This requires that it be installed SETID.  On some systems,
  the Majordomo programs can be installed SETID, but this requires both
  that the operating system support it ant that perl be built to support
  it.  If this is not possible, a set of tiny wrapper programs can be built
  which will take care of the SETID needs of Majordomo.
 If you don't know how to answer this question, answer NO.  Your system
  will be tested for SETID operation later in the build process.  If you
  need the wrappers, you will be told to rerun Makefile.PL.
Install the wrappers?  [no] ->

Did not actually function.

Still doing this with

uname -a:
SunOS pimpf 4.1.4 1 sun4c

and

perl -v:
This is perl, version 5.004_01

I built it and installed and all and it didn't function properly...

So,


oh, also only a single man error:

Manifying ./blib/man1/mj_confirm.1
/usr/local/bin/pod2man: Invalid man page - no documentation in bin/mj_confirm
Couldn't install ./blib/man1/mj_confirm.1

---
When I actually ran perl Makefile.PL and actually told it to make the SUID
stuff it seemed to work, but no testing myself yet.

ah and just a spelling note...it made me laugh:

8 legal commands processed (7 completely successfully).


Majorodmo stores response files (the confirmation message, the various help
 texts, etc.) separately instead of placing them into the program code.
 These files must be installed into the Majordomo system.

hee hee hee...

More later, gotta hit the hay finally.

CHeers!

-Brian
