	change the permissions/ownerships to  match these:

hub jmb[104] ls -Flag *aliases*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  bin     69645 Dec 14 07:23 aliases
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  106496 Dec 15 16:43 aliases.db
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   38693 Sep 14  1995 aliases.old
-rw-r--r--  1 root  bin      8608 Dec 14 07:25 majordomo.aliases
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   32768 Dec 15 16:43 majordomo.aliases.db

	you will have to change the permissions/ownerships of the
	directories above aliases.majordomo, i expect.

	the idea is to prevent just anyone from adding aliases. ;)
