[Mailman-Users] Installation on Mac OSX

[Thomas Hillson]

Michael,

Did you look in the /etc/passd and /etc/group to see if the user and 
group were actually placed there. OS-X does not put all the users and 
groups in /etc files as it does not use them for all its functions. 
It uses the Net-Info files which are different and not all users and 
groups that I can created on my OS-X computer are in the passwd and 
group files.
