I get Pythaon 2.2.2
Todd got me straightened out. I need to thank him. I read that portion
of the readme about the owner and permissions on the data/aliases and
glanced them over - assuming that RedHat installer set them up right.
I'm still get this
[root at listserv mailman]# service mailman start
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/var/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 524, in ?
main()
File "/var/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 319, in main
check_privs()
File "/var/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 274, in check_privs
gid = grp.getgrnam(mm_cfg.MAILMAN_GROUP)[2]
KeyError: getgrnam(): name not found
when I try to start the mailman service. I think this is the root of my
problems, but it is greek to me.
