CentOS is a repackaging of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, assuming your consultant installed the Red Hat mailman rpm then the mailman source files are in /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman. mm_cfg.py is also sym linked from /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py. You could also locate the files via "rpm -ql mailman" or by reading /usr/share/doc/mailman-*/INSTALL.REDHAT (unless CentOS changed the name, they are required to remove all branding). The mm_cfg we ship derives the host name from the socket networking code, you don't have to explicitly set it in mm_cfg. However, if you created a list and then changed the hostname you'll have to fix the lists you already created because that information is embedded in the list after creation. The mailman FAQ covers this topic in detail. -- 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
