Some time ago I reported a problem with md where I couldn't get it to 
serve lists unless they were world readable.

Well I didn't know when I was well off. To make a long story short, I 
have now broken it compleletely. This is on a Sun running Solaris System 
V Release 4.0, md 1.93, perl5.000

We installed md under username listmast and group cc_acad for reasons 
that seemed good at the time. After running into the world readable
problem, I went ahead an installed in on my NeXT using the instructions 
in Mananging Internet Information Services. It worked fine without world 
readable.

So, I decided to try installing it on the Sun using the majordom username 
and group. Unfortunately, I let the system person talk me into simply 
renaming the and changing the group on the listmast account instead of 
doing it in parallel.

When we did so, everything went to hell. If I send anything to majordomo, 
an error message arrives in majordom's mailbox as follows:
Any ideas of what the problem is? All the files are owned by 
majordom/majordom and majordomo and its .pl files are all world readable.
