These commands must be run by root or a member of Mailman's group. Put your add_members command (if you can) in the Mailman user's crontab or a system crontab with the mailman user as it's user. Another way to do this is to create a SETGID wrapper to run the commands. See the members.c program attached to the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/uIA9> for an example. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
