[Mailman-Users] issues with BSD/OS 4.0 and mailman 1.0b8

[Vivek Khera]

The web site says that Python 1.5 or newer is required.  It seems to
be that 1.5.1 or newer is required, as the "getpass" module does not
exist in 1.5.

Also, under BSD/OS unix (and most BSD in general) the group setgid bit 
is not necessary on directories -- the default bahavior is to use the
directory's group when creating new files.  Having the setgid bit
causes annoying security alerts, but is otherwise harmless.

The INSTALL document says that the default list for --with-mail-gid is 
'other daemon'.  However, the wrapper on my system was build to be
setgid mailman.

I'm building Python 1.5.1 now, so when I get it going, I may report
more... ;-)
