There was a bug several years ago in one of our rpm's where the variables MAILMAN_USER and MAILMAN_GROUP were not defined and one would get this error as a consequence. That bug has long since been fixed but you may have installed that rpm if you are working with an old distribution. The fix is to either add MAILMAN_USER = 'mailman' MAILMAN_GROUP = 'mailman' at the top of your mm_cfg.py file -or- upgrade to a newer rpm. -- John Dennis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
