Hmm...  Maybe this has been answered before.

Is there a GOOD reason that, by default, /usr/local/majordomo/lists is
world readable?  Does not just the "majordom" user/group ever read the
files contained therein?  Until now, I've never really had cause to play
with majordomo, but I was notably concerned when I saw the administrative
password for each list stored clear text in a predictable world readable
file/directory.  :-)
