Thats because "mailman" is a wrapper script meant to be executed by your MTA, its not a command line program (e.g. what's in the mailman bin directory). Mailman is guarding against anybody else executing what is supposed to be a private command only to executed by an MTA. The list presented to you in the error is a common list of of uid's that have the permission to execute the command. You will need to either logon as one of them or su to one of them. P.S. I assume the only reason you're attempting to execute the mailman command, is for testing purposes, one would never normally do this. -- John Dennis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------ 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 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
