Re: Majordomo Trouble
this is what i got:
bebo:/var/lib# ls -l | grep major
drwxr-xr-x 6 majordom majordom 1024 Apr 20 1999 majordomo
bebo:/var/lib/majordomo# ls -l
total 4
drwxrwsr-x 2 majordom majordom 1024 Mar 29 1998 archives
drwxrwsr-x 2 majordom majordom 1024 Mar 29 1998 digests
drwxr-xr-x 2 mail mail 1024 Jan 25 23:21 lists
drwxrwsr-x 2 majordom majordom 1024 Mar 29 1998 tmp
i had to chown the lists dir because i chown'd the wrapper script to
root.mail instead of root.root
