Interesting. I updated to 10.3.9 last night and have had no problems. Checking in my mailman directory, I see config.pck and config.pck.last files that all have update times since the OS update. I have not run Mac OS X's "repair disk permissions" since the update. I know many people recommend doing so both before and after applying any OS update but I've found doing so actually causes me problems - it changes the permissions on /var/mail to something pine does not like. -- Larry Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.stonejongleux.com/ ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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
