>Description:
	The install procedure for majordomo looks in /etc/group for the
	"majordom" group - this fails if that group is in hesiod or one
	of the other network databases.  It does use finger to do the
	username lookup, so that is ok...
>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to install majordomo with the majordom defined in hesiod,
	nis, etc.
>Fix:
	Non given.
