This appears to be a C library/OS issue that has nothing to do with Mailman. getgrgid(gid) should return a struct group for the group whose ID is gid. This structure should contain the information which is a representation of the fields in the /etc/groups record for that gid. If gid is valid, the return from getgrgid(gid) should not be null. >I tried to figure out the behaviour of these functions with a small test >code: getgrgid() returns gr_passwd = * for blowfish, and gr_passwd = x >for md5.

Mailman only cares about getgrgid()->gr_name. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
