>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.
