Hello, I have installed mailman before on a different machine.
I installed: FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE #0 Apache 1.3.27 (source) Python 2.1.3 (from ports) Postfix 2.0.9,1 (from ports) I run, #./configure --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python2.1 (I know this is far from complete as far as parameters go) and I am told, <snipped portions> checking for user name "mailman"... 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. But I didn create a user mailman. from /etc/passwd mailman:*:501:502:Mailman MLM:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin and FreeBSD likes to have a redundant file called /etc/master.passwd which I added the same: mailman:*:501:502:Mailman MLM:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin Apparently there is a problem with this. For completeness, I also added the group mailman to /etc/group as below mailman:*:502: These UIDs and GIDs are unique to mailman. Any suggestions?
