Thanks Anthony.

A bug number would be useful.

Anthony

I really don't know the bug number. I sent an email yesterday providing a lot of details and also a traceback. I will provide it once again here.

In the mailman-users list, Jon Carnes simply said, "This was an old problem that was supposedly fixed in 2.1.4", that is why I'm assuming there is a bug related to it.

The information I provided in my original post:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/mailman/scripts/driver", line 87, in run_main main() File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/private.py", line 120, in main password, username): File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/SecurityManager.py", line 226, in WebAuthenticate print self.MakeCookie(ac, user) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/SecurityManager.py", line 233, in MakeCookie raise ValueError ValueError

My Python environment (on a SUSE 9.0 box)

# rpm -qa|grep python python-mysql-0.9.2-52 python-devel-2.3-49 mod_python-2.7.8-427 python-japanese-1.4.9-206 python-curses-2.3-49 python-tk-2.3-49 python-2.3-52 python-korean-2.0.5-212

And I am running 2.1.4 from the Dec. 31 tarball. I even re-compiled and re-installed MM yesterday just to be sure...
