Hi All,
I have a very critical question. I installed "Mailman 2.1.6" under
a user account called "wheakory" and this account needs to be removed
off of our system fast. I would like to change ownership of the Mailman
installer owner to "mailacct" which is another account on our system.
My group is the default group "mailman", server is "www". If I just do
a find command :
(find /home/mailman -user wheakory -exec chown wheakory {} \;)
(find /home/mailman -group wheakory -exec chgrp wheakory {} \;)
Will this work, or is this account "wheakory" binded to the binary files
where this won't work? If this doesn't work what are my options besides
a complete reinstall, because I have over 200 mailing lists in production.
Here's the configuration I used to install Mailman 2.16 logged in as the
"wheakory" user account.
./configure --prefix=/home/mailman --with-python=/usr/bin/python
--with-mail-
gid=mailman --with-cgi-gid=www
Here's my Mailman directory structure below. (I'm using postfix with
Red Hat Enterprise 4, Mailman 2.1.6)
