RE: [gentoo-user] mailman stopped working after upgrade
Here is a related bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106403 Rob said that This is also in mailman-2.1.5-r4. MAILGID is set to 280 which is the new user id for mailman. MAILGID should be 12. How do I set the MAILGID from 280 to 12? I had this same idea last night to try it. If I change the .ebuild, then I get MD5 verify errors and it won't compile. How come this version used to work? Did something else change? I've diff'd the ebuilds and they all show 280, or were they different before and my emerge synch replaced the .ebuilds with updated ones? -Original Message- From: Daevid Vincent [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2005 1:46 PM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: RE: [gentoo-user] mailman stopped working after upgrade Okay.

Here is the response I got that fixed it: Michael, I've had the same problem before. In order for Mailman to work properly, it has to know the gid of the mail program at compile time. In this case it was told the mail program's gid was that of group mailman, but when the script was executed it was with the gid of group deamon. The easiest way I've found (and possibly the only?) to fix it is to use vigr to get the gid of the daemon group, then edit the mailman ebuild file. Right near the top of the file is an option for setting the mail-gid. Change that number to the one you found from vigr, then re-emerge mailman. Keep in mind that you'll have to repeat this procedure every time you upgrade mailman because the new ebuild won't have your changes in it. Bryan - Transcript of session follows - Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as group mailman, but the system's mail server executed the mail script as group daemon. Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group mailman, or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=daemon'. 554 5.3.0 unknown mailer error 2 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

RE: [gentoo-user] mailman stopped working after upgrade
I don't do any automated emerges (that seems extremely dangerous to me). I only emerge sync via crontab every night. Then I manually do an 'emerge -Davu system' (and world) to see what needs updating. I'll pick and choose from there. I did change my USE=nptl nptlonly -cups -debug acpi wifi mysql php apache2 mmx sse and added those 'nptl' and 'nptlonly' and followed a gentoo howto (which involved an 'emerge --newuse'). I don't think that threading is the issue here though as it's a uid/gid wrapper permission problem. Well, here is everything emerged on the 7th (the 5th and 6th had no results). The 5th is the last email I have saved from the list, so that is why I chose these dates to focus on. Nothing else in this list looks related to mailman.

Didn't you say in one of the original posts that you had tried to re-install mailman? That would explain the sept 12 entry. As far as the Feb 13th entry, would you remember if you had reinstalled on the 13th, whether purposely or as a result of an --emptytree, or perhaps resumed a previous build failure, or some sort of revdep-rebuild that decided, on the 13th, that exim needed to be rebuilt? The dates are somewhat conspicuous, in that they do not occur off hours (as a result of some sort of automated emerge --update process via cron). The would seem to indicate that you had manually done something to trigger the re-install -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Thank you for taking the time to reply Nick. Odd that you took this long to upgrade mailman as mine was upgraded to 2.1.5-r4 in February ? I run a fairly stable x86 server and try not to 'fix' what ain't broke. I dunno. I usually run 'emerge -Davu system' and 'world' every couple of days and see if anything stands out. I also try not to update things right a way so as to let the -rN versions stabalize.

RE: [gentoo-user] mailman stopped working after upgrade
BTW, someone on the mailman list said, Yes, it has the flags, but what is
the value of the ${MAILGID} parameter? The error message you received says
it's 'mailman' and
should be 'mail'.
And looking at the log, he seems to be correct:
Sep 12 12:16:19 [Mailman mail-wrapper] Group mismatch error. Mailman
expected the mail_wrapper script to be executed as group mailman, but_the
system's mail server executed the mail script as_group mail. Try tweaking
the mail server to run the_script as group mailman, or re-run configure,
_providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=mail'._
But the .ebuild script sets it to gid 280, shouldn't it be 8? why is that?
Is that the problem? How can I fix that. Re-emerging doesn't let me change
those .ebuild values. MD5 errors and such.
APACHEGID=81
MAILGID=280
src_compile() {
econf \
--prefix=${INSTALLDIR} \
--with-mail-gid=${MAILGID} \
--with-cgi-gid=${APACHEGID} \
|| die configure failed
make || die make failed
}
# ll /etc/exim/exim.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29452 Apr 29 13:54 /etc/exim/exim.conf
# User and group for Mailman, should match your --with-mail-gid
# switch to Mailman's configure script.
# Value is normally mailman
MM_UID=mailman
MM_GID=mailman
So, these match what the comment says there, and what the .ebuild is doing.
I'm so confused. *sigh*

My system runs postfix, not exim, but mailman is owned and run as
mailman:mailman or 280:280

I am not sure how mailman comes to be run as user:group mailman:mailman on my
system, but it does!
postfix runs as user postfix, not sure where user mail comes into it at
all.
I suspect you need to tweak something in order to encourage exim to pass off to
the mailman program as user mailman
Ahhh hold on the penny drops:
-rwxr-sr-x 1 mailman mailman 7880 Feb 16 2005 /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman
The s in group permissions is set gid or something isn't it? Which means it
gets run as group mailman even though someone else is starting it?
Then again yours has the same permissions - back to square one.
