[Mailman-Users] Errors after moving to new server

[Richard Pyne]

Actually, I did say it is Mandrake, but so was the old machine.  You
are right, it probably is a symlinks problem, but like most things
Linux, the README says to do somenthing but gives no idea how.

Can someone give some insight as to how to turn off restricted
hardlinks. Is it a kernel configuration option or is controllable at
the command level?

Thanks,
