Somehow you've got crontab entries enabled with a non-crontab file. Reading the section on cron in /usr/share/doc/mailman-*/INSTALL.REDHAT may help you understand better. But the short answer is the cron file supplied in the rpm you installed has an extra field in it at position 6, the mailman user. It is to be installed in /etc/cron.d. However please note this is automatically done for you by the init.d script when you start and stop mailman, please use the the init script to start and stop mailman (e.g. /sbin/service mailman start|stop). If you installed this cron file with crontab its is going to be very confused by the extra 6th field. Please make sure you do not have any mailman crontab entries and remember crontab != cron. The rpm you installed is supposed to remove any pre-existing mailman crontab entries in favor of the newer methodology. If one got left behind after the rpm install then the %post section of the rpm is failing somehow. -- John Dennis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------ 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
