Hello to all. It's been a while since I've posted here. I have been very happy with Mailman on OS X Server with much credit going to the kind people on this list. However the chance to move these horrible server fans out of my home has come into my lap and I must grab it. Unfortunately this means moving everything from my G4 to my new Linux RedHat box. It's been easier than I thought actually. RedHat Linux feels much less cluttered and confusing than OS X Server's brand of UNIX. I really like it a lot. However.......
I am using the default Mailman 2.1 installed by RedHat. I can manage groups via listinfo in my web browser and even add and remove members to the groups that I create; plus, the mail log indicates that messages are relayed on their merry way to the correct Mailman commands location however no posts or admin mails are ever sent or received. The big clue here is that when I go to /var/mailman/bin and type ./mailmanctl restart I get the following Traceback (most recent call last): File "./mailmanctl", line 524, in ? main() File "./mailmanctl", line 319, in main check_privs() File "./mailmanctl", line 274, in check_privs gid = grp.getgrnam(mm_cfg.MAILMAN_GROUP)[2] KeyError: getgrnam(): name not found I have deleted all groups and even commented the mailman references out of Postfix main.cf but the error does not change. I even removed /var/mailman/data/<all virtual and data files> to try to jostle the error but still no change. There is indeed a mailman user and group on the machine as far as I can tell but still this most stubborn error persists. Any thoughts from any of you generous folk?
