mailmanctl will attempt to run as mm_cfg.MAILMAN_GROUP, mm_cfg.MAILMAN_USER if you run it as root unless you defeat it with the -u or --run-as-user argument. Let's start with the basics, what are the owner and group for the pid file which cannot be modified? If they are not mm_cfg.MAILMAN_GROUP, mm_cfg.MAILMAN_USER then remove the file manually because most likely someone during initial testing/setup ran it in some other way. You should then be fine. Do verify the values of mm_cfg.MAILMAN_GROUP, mm_cfg.MAILMAN_USER. -- 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=show&file=faq01.027.htp
