Hi everyone, once again. I've returned to yet another attempt at installing Mailman 2.0.9 on my shiny new Solaris 8 box, and all I'm getting is: Apr 17 13:09:36 vortex Mailman mail-wrapper: [ID 702911 mail.error] Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 59999, GOT gid 60001. (Reconfigure to take 60001?) Apr 17 13:09:36 vortex postfix/local[12816]: [ID 197553 mail.info] 27FA03846E: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=local, delay=0, status=deferred (Command died with status 2: "/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd testlist". Command output: Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 59999, GOT gid 60001. (Reconfigure to take 60001?) ) I'm not an idiot, at least not completely, I hope. I know that this is being dealt with in a FAQ somewhere, I've read and followed it a few weeks ago, but I can't work it out. What more am I supposed to do than rm -Rf'ing everything Mailman related and starting over from scratch making really sure everything is configured right? You know, retrying over and over gets old after a few attempts. I've even backed away from my /opt layout and let mailman install to the default location /home/mailman, all to no avail. I configured Mailman like this: ./configure --with-username=mailman --with-groupname=mailman --with-cgi-gid=httpd --with-mail-gid=postfix # grep postfix /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/passwd:postfix:x:59999:59999::/bin/false:/bin/false /etc/group:postfix::59999: # grep mailman /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/passwd:mailman:x:59994:59994::/home/mailman:/bin/sh /etc/group:mailman::59994: # grep httpd /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/passwd:httpd:x:59996:59996::/home/httpd:/bin/false /etc/group:httpd::59996: # grep 60001 /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/passwd:nobody:x:60001:60001:Nobody:/: /etc/group:nobody::60001: # python -V Python 2.2 # ls -la /home/mailman total 40 drwxrwsr-x 18 mailman mailman 512 Apr 17 12:53 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root other 512 Mar 17 03:04 .. drwxrwsr-x 8 root mailman 1536 Apr 17 13:03 Mailman drwxrwsr-x 4 root mailman 512 Apr 17 12:53 archives drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 512 Apr 17 12:54 bin drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 512 Apr 17 12:54 cgi-bin drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 512 Apr 17 12:58 cron drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 512 Apr 17 13:04 data drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 512 Apr 17 12:54 filters drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 512 Apr 17 12:54 icons drwxrwsr-x 3 root mailman 512 Apr 17 13:03 lists drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 512 Apr 17 13:11 locks drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 512 Apr 17 13:05 logs drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 512 Apr 17 12:54 mail drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 512 Apr 17 12:53 qfiles drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 512 Apr 17 12:54 scripts drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 512 Apr 17 12:53 spam drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 1536 Apr 17 12:54 templates /home is a symlink to /usr/home on /usr, which is mounted with the following options: /usr on /dev/md/dsk/d33 read/write/setuid/intr/largefiles/logging/onerror=panic/dev=1540021 on Sat Mar 16 04:13:16 2002 When sending mail to a list, all I get is: Apr 17 13:09:36 vortex Mailman mail-wrapper: [ID 702911 mail.error] Failure to exec script.

Command output: Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 59999, GOT gid 60001. (Reconfigure to take 60001?) ) What is missing? Does anyone of you have Mailman running on Solaris with Postfix, like I'm trying to do? Does the Fallback to "nobody" has anything to do with Postfix security? The precise script in question looks like this: # ls -l /home/mailman/mail/wrapper -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman 36536 Apr 17 12:54 /home/mailman/mail/wrapper The CGI interface works fine, BTW. Thanks in advance for all hints, -martin -- I will talk and Redmond will listen. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py
