Did you mean to send this to mailman-users or mailman-developers?

What if anything did you originally specify to configure as
--with-username and --with-groupname? These will probably be reflected
in Defaults.py as
MAILMAN_USER =
and
MAILMAN_GROUP =
At the very least, these may need overriding in mm_cfg.py.
It might be safer to run
make clean
configure (with appropriate values for --with-username
and --with-groupname)
make install
but if MAILMAN_USER and MAILMAN_GROUP are both already 'mailman', this
wouldn't be necessary.
