No. Mailman documentation refers to the distributed crontab which is in the usual user crontab format (no set-user field). It would work correctly as the mailman user's crontab. > steve <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello all, setting up mailman on > linux 2.6.9 where mailman was installed I believe by a rpm file. Almost certainly (based on past reports of this kind), something is messed up in your Linux installation. You could try to track it down yourself -- a common cause is installing an RPM intended for a different distribution, which isn't the distro's fault. It could be that the distro is broken, and may have even issued a bugfix upgrade. Very likely this difference from the Mailman distribution is documented somewhere in the distro's docs. On Debian, try /usr/share/doc/mailman-$FULL_DEBIAN_VERSION. ------------------------------------------------------ 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/ 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
