Was the error something like "group writable directory"?  If so,
just turn off the group write bits on all the files in the Majordomo
directory, and all the paths leading to it (i.e. "chmod g-w / /usr
/usr/local /usr/local/majordomo" or whatever).

If that's not the error, please be a bit more detailed.
