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=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

(the people that originally installed Mailman will fix the problem if I pay for a one hour support charge, but I believe it is just a matter of updating to the new IP or hostname) This is covered in the FAQ - article 4.29. Be sure not to overlook the section on 'Existing vs. new lists' Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Also: 1) I can't find the mm_cfg.py file! Where should it be? Depending on how Mailman was installed on your system there can be just one, two or more directories containing mailman. Mailman is often installed in a single directory, sometimes referred to as $prefix. Sometimes, mutable data is in a second directory referred to $var-prefix. Sometimes wrappers can be in a third directory. If Mailman was installed from source, there may also be the directory in which Mailman was unpacked and configured. Do find / -name Mailman to find the Mailman directory which should be at the top level within the $prefix directory, but you might also find one in the source directory. Normally there will be only one Mailman directory that contains both *.py and *.pyc files and this will contain mm_cfg.py. 2) how exactly do I restart mailman, what directory must I be in? You don't need to be in a specific directory. You start and stop mailman with $prefix/bin/mailmanctl. Assuming you're in the $prefix directory, bin/mailmanctl --help will give the documentation. Also, depending on how Mailman was installed there may be a script in some place like /etc/init.d/mailman or /etc/rc.d/init.d/mailman which you can look at. Does anyone know where on Mailman or server I need to enter/change the new IP or hostname? If I understand this question correctly, the answer is the subject of the above referenced FAQ. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
