Does wrapper also need to be linked to /usr/libexec/sm.bin.  I asked
about this some time ago on this list and got no answer so I changed
user:group to mailnull:mailnull for /usr/local/majordomo and linked
wrapper to /usr/libexec/sm.bin and it seems to work fine but I could
very well be mistaken.  I also use hypermail and had to make the
same changes to it.

There seems to be a similar problem with mailman although I just tested
it at the time of the sendmail change and didn't try changing perms because
I was too busy fixing what was broken:-)

Thanks,

ed
