They're all set correctly. Think I read somewhere that set-guid doesn't work properly on BSD, which Mac OSXS is based on.

MacOS X 10.3.9 has turned off all setuid (that's SETUID, not

So far as I know, setgid works just fine on MacOS X, at least for
non-shell scripts. Of course, Mailman uses setuid and not setgid, so this wouldn't be a problem for us anyway.

Sendmail needs to see the group 'daemon' to run anything from it's secure shell /usr/adm/sm.bin. So I reran configure with --mail-gid=daemon and it's working now.

Ok. Tried but got 2 errors:
Incorrect password: do I need a separate password from my list subscription password?
Log message box: what should I put here and who sees it?

Just some short description of the changes you made. This is
incorporated into the version control system that underlies the FAQ Wizard, and anyone who goes in to see all of the versions of the particular question will see the descriptive text that is entered.
