Default User ID

Hello, I'm a new user trying to install Majordomo on an OpenSuSE
computer. I haven't been having much luck.

 

Everything went fine until I got to the part of the process where the
wrapper config test is performed. I had been using the default user, and
got an error message saying not to do that.

 

So I created a new group called 'majordomo' and a user to go with it. I
made sure that the group existed, and that the user has been assigned to
it. I edit the Makefile to refer to the numerical IDs of the group and
user that I've created, instead of the default values.

 

I then run 'make install' again. Again, I get to the wrapper config
test. And again, despite the Makefile saying otherwise, it insists that
I'm using the default uid and gid. I thought 'well, I'm trying to
install into the folder I had originally created with make
install...maybe I should try a different folder'. So I alter 'make
install' to create an entirely different folder for Majordomo, with the
uid and gid set to the username and the majordomo group I made.

 

And it /still/ insists that I'm trying to use the default uid of 123 and
the root group (45 0). What do I have to alter to make the installation
files recognize the user I'm telling them to?
