You need to use the program patch to apply the patch as provided. Note that Python is sensitive to indentation and the use of tab characters versus spaces, so you can't just cut-n-paste what you see. You either need to make sure that the indentation perfectly matches what is present in the files being modified, or you need to use the program patch to do that for you. If you have stored the security patch in a file called patchfile, and you have placed that file in the appropriate directory, it should be as simple as this: # patch patchfile And the program should be able to figure out the rest by reading the patchfile and applying that to the code in the appropriate places. For information, the system I am trying to update is OSX 10.3.8 with Mailman 2.1.5 the developers tools installed. Many thanks.

It looks like the first time, patch failed to apply the first hunk (the Copyright notice) because it had already been applied. The second time, answering Y to the 'reverse' question effectively removed the patch, and the third try successfully reapplied the patch. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Hmm. Not sure. Have you compared the file being patched against what it used to be, and what was in the patch? Here's a hint. The change is only a couple of lines, if you're having trouble applying the patch open up a text editor and manually cut-n-paste the changes.
