In the Makefile, use the POSIX settings and set W_UID and W_GID
to the user and group id of the "majordom" account.

If you don't do this, then majordomo sends the system into some
loop that consumes all your memory.

I also had to fiddle with the install scripts in the Makefile because
they crapped out before copying all the files to the right places.
Then I got it to work (on 2.1.5)

Good luck.
