The UID and GID there belong to majordom. Actually, shlock was
complaing either about root directory permissions or majordomo $HOME
(/var/lib/majordomo) permissions, from the looks of the error message
received. Should any permissions in the /var/lib/majordomo directory
be set to majordomo:majordomo, as they are supposed to be in the
/var/lib/majordomo/lists directory?

Ok, I'll try that. Is the wrapper script majordomo.pl, and should that
be set to majordomo:majordomo or remain as root:root? Thanks for the reply,
Nate.
