Please keep threads on the list unless sending personal, private or security information. What happened when you did the useradd command? There are two issues with the manual: 1) useradd -c''GNU Mailman'' -s /no/shell -d /no/home -g mailman mailman should be either useradd -c"GNU Mailman" -s /no/shell -d /no/home -g mailman mailman or useradd -c'GNU Mailman' -s /no/shell -d /no/home -g mailman mailman 2) you need to be root or use sudo Also, if you don't actually know how to add a user to your system, you may not have enough sysadmin experience to successfully install mailman. The installation manual tries to be complete, but it assumes a certain level of background knowledge. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
