I asked:
[additional details deleted]I'm attempting to use Mailman on RedHat Linux 9.0. I installed it as part of the initial installation of RedHat, via the RPM that came on the CD.
John Carnes responded (thanks!):
Did you startup the Mailman daemon: /var/mailman/bin/mailmanctl start
Your log trace shows that your mail is being delivered to Mailman. So your aliases are setup properly and working.
Attempts to start the Mailman daemon give the following error messages:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# /var/mailman/bin/mailmanctl start Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 524, in ? main() File "/var/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 319, in main check_privs() File "/var/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 274, in check_privs gid = grp.getgrnam(mm_cfg.MAILMAN_GROUP)[2] KeyError: getgrnam(): name not found [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]#
...which is the same error I get when I try "/bin/check_perms".
I don't know python (a situation which I intend to remedy soon), but this appears to be doing a "getgrnam" to make sure the MAILMAN_GROUP is (I'm guessing) in /etc/group? There is a line in /etc/group that contains mailnam:x:41:
The "mailman" entry in /etc/passwd look like this:
mailman:x:41:41:GNU Mailing List Manager:/var/mailman:/bin/false
Any further suggestions?
