Are you orginally running the scripts (during make list, etc) as mailman? Did you already set MAILGID during emerge mailman? If not, this may help...
If you put the following line in /etc/portage/bashrc, and re-emerge mailman, this should fix your problem: MAILGID=mailman I'm not very experienced with the smaller details concerning your problem, but I hope that helps. On a side note, I'm running gentoo/mailman/qmail. Bryan Petty On Thu, 20 Jan 2005 09:37:41 -0500, Ming Jack Po <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey All, > > I have a really weird issue.
