Under the section to create a group, you have the niutil commands almost right. The first one is -create, but the others have to be -createprop. That stumped me for about 5 minutes. *GRIN*
Then, I went to do the ./configure using: ./configure --prefix=/Users/mailman --with-mail-gid=6 --with-cgi-gid=www Yes, the mail GID on my machine is 6, but I didn't get that far. Once again, when I get to the part in the configure script where it looks for the users, it can't find the user mailman. Here's the last bit of the output of the script: checking for mailman UID... ./configure: permission denied: conftest.py [1152] /usr/local/bin/python: can't open file 'conftest.py' cat: conftest.out: No such file or directory configure: error: ***** No "mailman" user found! ***** Your system must have a "mailman" user defined ***** (usually in your /etc/passwd file). Please see the INSTALL ***** file for details. reading the NetInfo database, it shows the following: [smudette:/Developer/mailman-2.0.8] root# niutil -read / /users/mailman name: mailman uid: 5990 home: /Users/mailman shell: /bin/tcsh passwd: HkQS3pxAPyKbA [smudette:/Developer/mailman-2.0.8] root# niutil -read / /groups/mailman name: mailman gid: 5990 passwd: * users: mailman Yes, the GID and UID of 5990 were open so I used them just as the directions on the page described. Now, I'm really stumped. -Michael ------------------------------------------------------ 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
