No, digest is invoked directly by majordomo as $homedir/digest. Just
move digest from Tools to the same directory (the file) majordomo lives
in and it should be fine.

(Note to Mj-workers: am I wrong or is this an installation/majordomo bug?)

Wrapper sets the environment, including PATH, just like it wants it.
See wrapper.c. Get rid of all the .profile/.login files you've created.
They're only used if you logon as the Mj user and I've never seen any
need to do that, in fact I consider it a security hole (but then I'm
paranoid :-).
