Attempts to start the Mailman daemon give the following error messages:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# /var/mailman/bin/mailmanctl start
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/var/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 524, in ?
main()
File "/var/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 319, in main
check_privs()
File "/var/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 274, in check_privs
gid = grp.getgrnam(mm_cfg.MAILMAN_GROUP)[2]
KeyError: getgrnam(): name not found
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]#
...which is the same error I get when I try "/bin/check_perms".
I don't know python (a situation which I intend to remedy soon), but
this appears to be doing a "getgrnam" to make sure the MAILMAN_GROUP is
(I'm guessing) in /etc/group? There is a line in /etc/group that
contains
mailnam:x:41:
The "mailman" entry in /etc/passwd look like this:
mailman:x:41:41:GNU Mailing List Manager:/var/mailman:/bin/false
Any further suggestions?
Thanks!
