After entering the correct password the errormessage "Authorization failed" is shown. Deleting the Browser Cache/Cookies didn't fix the problem. There's no problem logging in with Firefox 2 or IE7. All other tested browsers work, too. Except FireFox 3. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: realriot (realriot) Date: 2008-06-19 23:18 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=2121701 Originator: YES Seems to be a cookie problem (or something like that). If I login with directly giving the pass (adminpw=foobar) it works... Entering the password at the password prompt the login fails... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2008-06-19 18:29 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Originator: NO I second Barry's comment.

[ mailman-Bugs-2004506 ] 2.1.11rc2 does not honor ./configure arguments

Very very painful. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2008-06-27 15:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Originator: NO It works for me. Furthermore, configure.in hasn't changed in any significant way in ages, and I doubt that autoconf would mess up this badly. Do you possibly have some environment settings that are interfering? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=2004506&group_…

[ mailman-Patches-1123383 ] Daily Status Report script...

Category: list administration Group: Mailman 2.1 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Brad Knowles (shub) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Daily Status Report script... Initial Comment: Folks, I quickly whacked together a Daily Status Report script for Mailman (using Bourne shell, not Python ;), and thought that other folks might be interested in seeing it. The basic concept is a program that gets fired off at 23:59 every night, and goes through a variety of log files looking for entries specific to that date, and indicating problems or certain types of activity that might be of interest to someone trying to administer the server. It also does an "ls -la" of /usr/local/mailman/qfiles/*, so that you can see what is in the queue at the time of the running of the script. My concept was that this daily report would get e-mailed to the admin, or posted to a "reports" mailing list, where they could be archived and kept for future reference. The script does not (yet) do any statistics calculations, although it should be relatively easy to hack together some basic stats using awk, sort, etc.... Anyway, I thought I'd share it and let folks take a look at it, and if anyone has any recommended improvements, we can incorporate those and share them back out with everyone. The code is written under a BSD-style license, so if you don't want to contribute any changes back to me, that's okay. Of course, I would prefer that you did, but I leave the choice up to you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2008-07-03 12:02 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Originator: NO The following changes have been made in version 0.18 # 0.0.18 Update by Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> # Updated on: Tue May 13 08:58:26 PDT 2008 # Changes for Mailman 2.1.10 -- # Added 'bad' to the list of queues. # Made listing of a queue directory conditional on existence. # Sumarized unparseable messages and preserved queue entries # in the Other Errors section.

Version 0.0.16 corrects a couple of typo/minor issues. It is the version that has been in the contrib directory of the distribution since Mailman 2.1.8. Version 0.0.17 processes two generations of rotated logs (assuming they are named xxx and xxx.1 and xxx.1 exists) so that data is not lost on the day the logs rotate. It also changes a deprecated sort key option to one that should work with all sort commands. This version will be in the contrib directory of the Mailman 2.1.10 distribution.

The lines in the smtp log are sometimes broken up by a newline (right before the msgid) which throws of the summary. Piping it through sed first will rejoin the broken lines. Use $AWK instead of awk.

The patch adds a LOGDIR directory independant of MMDIR. 2) The $TMPLOG file is not removed at completion. The patch removes it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Brad Knowles (shub) Date: 2005-09-06 07:06 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=18417 Okay, I've deleted the old version of the mmdsr script that was attached, and uploaded the latest version.

Apparently the variable UID is a constant already in use. When trying to the run the script without modification, I was receiving the following error message: UID: readonly variable This issue was resolved by changing the name of variable, UID, to something else, such as MMUID. Works fine with this change. As an aside (& for what it is worth), the UID grab command suggested by tgc99 on 2005-02-16 03:15 works on this system (OS X - version 10.2.8) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tom G.
