Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1720190 Originator: YES Since it is part of the official distribution and is also in you SVN, I thought you'd like to quickly apply a fix to it. Anyway, I'll contact the contributor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2007-02-15 18:05 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Originator: NO These are not GNU Mailman scripts. They must be part of some redistribution. Please report this bug to your packager. There's nothing the Mailman project can do about it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Christian Reß (chris_ress) Date: 2007-02-15 15:40 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1720190 Originator: YES I forgot: You need to start Mailman as root for the error to occur. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1660666&group_id=103
