This is a common request, and should happen. Some of the discussions we've had in regard to the v3 architecture should make this easy to accomplish, especially once you get things like LDAP integration. -- J C … [View More]

Is this NetBSD or the common Group ID problem
by josh＠ssimr.com April 1, 2001

April 1, 2001

I noticed that I'm having some problems with my test list. I configured with the following command below. 31 is the group ID "guest" and 39 in "nobody". ./configure --with-mail-gid=31 --with-cgi-gid=39 As far as I can tell when a new file is created or has its permissions changed from the web based system - so that "nobody" is the owner, the commands run - even with all the sgid bits set, don't have access to them because they are running as guest. That is the mechanism is insufficient to … [View More]

cron error : gate_news, permission denied
by Murat Balkas April 1, 2001

April 1, 2001

Hi, I get this error almost every minute. If check the permissions I see that config.db of all lists are owned by nobody ( web user ). Is it not okey? Should I chown? Your "cron" job on mail /usr/local/bin/python -S /export/home/mailman//cron/gate_news produced the following output: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/export/home/mailman//cron/gate_news", line 222, in ? main() File "/export/home/mailman//cron/gate_news", line 203, in main process_lists(lock) File "/… [View More]

List Info page showing wrong e-mail address
by Chris Boot April 1, 2001

April 1, 2001

Hi all, I just set up Mailman 2.0.3 on my web server -- very nice stuff! I've set everything up as per the INSTALL file, but when I go to my /mailman/listinfo.cgi page without specifying a list, the list owner e-mail address is not @DEFAULT_HOST_NAME, but at the machine's DNS host name... I'm on a virtual host, so this means a lot to me. None of the other pages are affected, even /mailman/listinfo.cgi/test, which is the list info page for the test list I set up. Any ideas? Did I just … [View More]

An enhancement Suggestion
by Develia the Wicked April 1, 2001

April 1, 2001

Not sure how to get this to the folks who write mailman so trying this way. If there were an option to record a nickname or realname in the database that is associated with the email listing, it would prove very handy in a couple of ways. I have used mailman to run mailing lists for a few organizations. Sometimes a member may ask me to make a change, or I might need to make sure that someone is removed when they leave the organization, etc. Righ tnow to do that I have to cross reference a … [View More]
