[ale] Red Hat - Majordomo problem

[Jon Uhler]

Hi.  I'm looking for a little help with what appears to be permission
problems.

My system:

Red Hat 7.0
Majordomo 1.94.5
Sendmail 8.11.0/8.9.3

I've added the following to the sendmail.cf file:


# override file safeties - setting this option compromises system security
# need to set this now for the sake of class files
O DontBlameSendmail=IncludeFileInGroupWritableDirPath,
O DontBlameSendmail=GroupWritableDirPathSafe
O DontBlameSendmail=GroupWritableIncludeFileSafe

I have the following permissions (777 - just to make sure) on the following
directories:

/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5
/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/lists
/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/lists/usergroup

User majordomo.daemon owns the directories and files.

This is my majordomo part of my aliases file:

# Majordomo usergroup aliases
majordomo:	"|/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/wrapper majordomo"
owner-majordomo: majordomo.daemon
majordomo-owner: majordomo.daemon
usergroup:	:include:/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/lists/usergroup
owner-usergroup: hpitts
usergroup-request: "|/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/wrapper request-answer
usergroup"
usergroup-approval: hpitts 


I get this when I try to send anything to the lists usergroup:

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
:include:/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/lists/usergroup
    (expanded from: <usergroup at eoncommunications.com>)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 5.2.4 :include:/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/lists/usergroup... Cannot
open /usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/lists/usergroup: World writable directory
Message delivered to mailing list <usergroup at eoncommunications.com>

If I tighten up the permissions I get a Cannot access
/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/lists/usergroup Permission denied.....

So it is one of those "Damned if you do, damned if you dont......"

Thanks for any help that you could provide.
