And this is one reason I'm not a big fan of rpm's for mailman. They work for some people, but not everyone. The error description is very nice, it tells you exactly what to do. But considering you installed from an RPM, you never ran the ./configure file in the first place. You can either change the mail group on your system from 'nobody' to 'mail' or you can get the SRPM and rebuild it to use --with-mail-gid=nobody. -- Matthew Davis http://dogpound.vnet.net/ To boldly go and watch Star Trek re-runs. ------------------------------------------------------ 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 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [email protected] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
