In a word (or acronym), FHS. <http://www.pathname.com/fhs/> Actually, AFAIK, the Red Hat (hence CentOS) Mailman package is the only one that does it right. See <http://wiki.list.org/x/8486953> and the mailman-developers post linked therefrom. Debian (hence Ubuntu) puts things in the FHS recommended places, but everything not in /var/lib/mailman/ is symlinked from there so Mailman itself still thinks everything is in /var/lib/mailman/. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
