If I recall, some broken distros include(d) DEFAULT_SERVER_LANGUAGE = 'en-US' in Defaults.py All you need to do to fix this is put DEFAULT_SERVER_LANGUAGE = 'en' in mm_cfg.py. >OK, so I went to the manual, and hit a wall trying to create the user. >The instructions give exact characters to type in to useradd. Actually, it doesn't. At least if you are reading <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node4.html>, it says useradd -c''GNU Mailman'' -s /no/shell -d /no/home -g mailman mailman and the '' are intended to mean " so the "exact" command should be useradd -c"GNU Mailman" -s /no/shell -d /no/home -g mailman mailman But this assumes that useradd won't validate the entries for shell (-s) and home directory (-d). Personally, I would use "-s /sbin/nologin" and "-d /usr/local/mailman" as the shell and home directory, assuming you are going to install in the default /usr/local/mailman directory. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
