What's an example of a file that I could 'locate' to figure out what mailman is using instead of /var? Or is there another way to determine what it is? --with-mailhost and --with-urlhost set the values of DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST > and DEFAULT_URL_HOST respectively in Defaults.py. > Got these, thanks. > --with-mail-gid and --with-cgi-gid ... > You can > run strings on your existing mail/mailman and cgi-bin/* wrappers to get > a clue if you don't know. > I tried strings on those files, and either it wasn't helpful or I am not clueful enough in the first place to know what to look for in the output. Can you offer any additional suggestions here? In case it's meaningful, I don't see any unusual-looking groups in /etc/group. There is a 'mailman' group but no users are in it. There is a 'mail' group with user 'mail' in it.
