Ok, I reinstalled, here are the steps that I followed (btw I'm using Slackware 10).
As root, I created the mailman user and mailman group. I have mailman temporarily set up to allow shell access (so I can install as mailman). # cd /usr/local # tar -zxvf ./mailman-2.1.6.tgz # chgrp -R mailman ./mailman-2.1.6 # chmod -R a+rx,g+ws ./mailman-2.1.6 # ln -s ./mailman-2.1.6 ./mailman # ls -ld ./mailman* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2005-08-09 11:51 mailman -> ./mailman-2.1.6/ drwxrwsrwx 13 joeblow mailman 976 2005-08-09 11:50 mailman-2.1.6/ # su - mailman % cd /usr/local/mailman % ./configure --with-mail-gid=nogroup % make install > ./mailman-install.log 2>&1 ( According to mailman-install.txt you don't need to run make by itself, and they say to run make install as non root) I still don't see the ./scripts/subscribe script.

It looks like your installation isn't complete or the /usr/local/mailman/scripts/subscribe file would exist. -- Jim Tittsler http://www.OnJapan.net/ GPG: 0x01159DB6 Python Starship http://Starship.Python.net/crew/jwt/ Mailman IRC irc://irc.freenode.net/#mailman ------------------------------------------------------ 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
