[Mailman-Developers] issues...

[Nils Lohner]

1. The scripts should probably check if you have sufficient privileges 
before launching...

/etc/mailman > newlist rt-general
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/sbin/newlist", line 227, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/sbin/newlist", line 122, in main
    os.setgid(MAILMAN_GID)
OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted
/etc/mailman > sudo newlist rt-general
Enter the email of the person running the list:


2. 
General list information can be found at _the_mailing_list_overview_page
_.

When clicking on that link (in Netscape, at least...) and not having 
changed the name in /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py it tries to contact
http://www.localhost.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo

I don't know where the 'www.' and '.com' are coming from, but they 
shouldn't be there.  After changing localhost to the hostname it worked 
fine.

THanks,
Nils.
