Re: Weird result

I think it sounds like an smrsh issue at this point. Check to be sure 
there's a soft link in /etc/smrsh to majordomo-1.94.5/wrapper, and any 
other program majordomo needs. I also use bulk_mailer, so there's a link 
to it's location in /usr/local/bin, too.

cd /etc/smrsh

ls -la should give this:

wrapper -> /opt/majordomo-1.94.5/wrapper

If you get that there, then setting the directories to 751 and the lists 
to 644 should make the system happy.
