[PLUG] Problem with Majordomo

[Jon Jacob]

I discovered a little bit more, but none of it good.  I guess Majordomo
had a bug in the Makefile and I have fixed that.  Also I added a symlink
in /etc/smrsh to the wrapper in the majordomo directory.  I think all
the permissions are right, but something is still not working.

My majordomo directory looks like this:

drwxr-xr-x    6 majordom daemon       4096 May 20 10:06 .

And when I send the 'lists' command, I get this:
