[Mailman-Users] configuration problem

Ok, now I'm getting somewhere with this mailman installation.

I intstalled the mailman RPM on my laptop which has RH7.0 installed.  I can
now peruse the ../admin/testlist page.  I couldn't do that with the RH7.1.
So there's something about RH7.1 that prohibits mailman from working
properly.  One of the differences between RH7.1 and RH7.0 are some security
tweaks.

Figuring this one out is going to be a challenge for me since I'm no expert.
If anyone gets mailman working on RH7.1 please let me, and the list know how
you did it.

Thanks,

Joe
