[Mailman-Users] Additional info

[Jeff Baldwin]

Thanks for the quick response Kevin ---

Here is what I have

[mailman at mill96 mailman]$ python -c'import os; print os.getgid()'
502
[mailman at mill96 mailman]$ cat /etc/group | grep 502
mailman::502:

So.. looks like this is grabbing the GID of the user Mailman.... is that
correct?
Just for your convenience here is a "cat" of my group file, relevant to
mailman

[mailman at mill96 mailman]$ cat /etc/group

mail::12:mail
admin::110:root,mailman
nobody::99:
webd:x:48:
postfix:x:89:
mailman::502:

Thanks

Jeff
