Um, where did you get --with-ownername and --with-ownergroup from? Those two options don't exist in the configure script. --with-username specify a user name other than "mailman" --with-groupname specify a group name other than "mailman" --with-mail-gid specify GID mail programs run as --with-cgi-gid specify GID CGI programs run as Also, the --host option doesn't imply a domain name. The --host option is the type of machine. This is relevant is you're using a cross-compiler. And you only need --prefix once. And with the above configuration, your crontask _must_ be owned by mail:mail, nor mailman:mailman. I run sendmail as mail:mail, and mailman as mailman:mailman and my webserver as httpd:daemon. My configure looks something like this: ./configure --with-mail-gid=mail --with-cgi-gid=daemon I don't need to suply --with-username nor --with-groupname since they stay as mailman:mailman. The crontask runs as mailman:mailman. I also don't supply a --prefix since it's installed under the user mailman's directory. For you, this changes obviously, however it's not mandatory. -- W | I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere. +-------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley M.
