Hi all,

I've setup ver. 2.1.9 on Fedora 8. I used yum to install (can't find
'configure' but that's not really my question) and configured it using the
docs on the website including the cron section:
% cd $prefix/cron
% crontab -u mailman crontab.in


I repeatedly receive the following email in mailman's mailbox:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Cron Daemon)
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> mailman /usr/lib/mailman/cron/gate_news
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Auto-Submitted: auto-generated
X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh>
X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/usr/lib/mailman>
X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/bin:/bin>
X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=mailman>
X-Cron-Env: <USER=mailman>

/bin/sh: mailman: command not found
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Some useful(?) info:

# ls -l /usr/lib/mailman/cron/gate_news
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root mailman 10177 2008-01-14 23:57
/usr/lib/mailman/cron/gate_news

# grep mailman /etc/passwd
mailman:x:41:41:GNU Mailing List Manager:/usr/lib/mailman:/sbin/nologin

I have not modified the /usr/lib/mailman/cron/crontab.in  file:

0 8 * * * mailman /usr/lib/mailman/cron/checkdbs
0 9 * * * mailman /usr/lib/mailman/cron/disabled
0 12 * * * mailman /usr/lib/mailman/cron/senddigests
0 5 1 * * mailman /usr/lib/mailman/cron/mailpasswds
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * mailman
/usr/lib/mailman/cron/gate_news
27 3 * * * mailman /usr/lib/mailman/cron/nightly_gzip


Can someone point me to a solution or tell me what I've overlooked?
I did search through some of this lists archives but didn't see this
particular problem.


Thanks!
