[Mailman-Developers] OSX installation problem - no "mailman" user

[Greg Westin]

I sent this question to the mailman-users list and got no response, so I 
thought maybe I should try here.  I don't know if this is a problem 
because I'm a novice at these UNIX installations, or if there's 
something wrong with the Darwin installer:

I'm trying to install Mailman on Mac OS X, and it's not working for me.  
For some reason, it keeps saying "no mailman user found" when I try to 
run configure... I've tried setting up said user in the System 
Preferences and in NetInfo.  The user exists in the System Preferences, 
has a home directory, etc... but configure doesn't work.  Do you have 
any ideas?  Maybe I didn't enter some necessary things in NetInfo, or 
maybe something's not setgid'd right, or I don't know what.

Thanks,

Greg Westin
