[Mailman-Users] Perm Hosery in 2.0rc1?

[Michael Brennen]

Hi Wil... :)

I had the same problem running the Mandrake 7.x secure kernel; I had
no idea until afterwards that the Openwall patches are apparently in
that kernel.  You'll either need the workaround patch from
sourceforge or run the standard kernel.
