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.
