[Mailman-Users] REDHAT 6.X NEWBIES - READ THIS

[Garret Krampe]

I had the experience of NOT reading the DOCs !
All the answers are there.

If you like then you should make this script and put into
the diectory where mailman.tar.gz expanded to
call it "redhat6"
chmod u+rwx redhat6
then ./redhat6

this will make a default installation for you.
may I suggest to also use webin to complete your www management of your
server(s).

#!/bin/bash
useradd mailman
chmod u+rwx,g+s /home/mailman
cp misc/mailman.jpg /home/httpd/icons
chmod a+r  /home/httpd/icons/mailman.jpg

./configure --with-cgi-gid=nobody --with-mail-gid=mail
make install

cd /home/mailman/bin
./check_perms -f
ln -sf  /home/mailman/mail/wrapper /etc/smrsh/wrapper
