It is only significant to configure in your case, but configure whant the prefix and var_prefix directories to be SETGID and Mailman's group so that subordinates created by make install will be the same. When you originally asked about this off line, I thought what you had would be OK because it was a working installation, but apparently it only works for Apple :( You need to chgrp _mailman /var/mailman chmod g+s /var/mailman to make configure happy. The prefix directory (/usr/share/mailman in your case) needs to be the same. >Once I get this right, I plan on upgrading a 10.6.2 production server running >2.1.12rc1 to 2.1.12. FYI, 2.1.13rc1 is released and 2.1.13 final will be released next week barring the unexpected. It fixes several minor bugs in 2.1.12. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
