yum installations do not conform to the docs on the website. That's the whole point of yum, really: doing things Fedora's way, rather than that of the upstream. This is really a Fedora question, therefore. I think this was actually posted most recently about a week ago. The problem most likely is that the Mailman install assumes that the Mailman jobs will be run from the root crontab, which has a different format from user crontabs. Specifically, the argument "mailman" is intended to be a user to su to in a root crontab, while in a user crontab that field is not present. yum probably installs it as a user crontab. If you just delete the field "mailman" from each command, it will probably start working. Maybe. ------------------------------------------------------ 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
