[Mailman-Users] [bin/check_perms -f] - dont work...

[jbrouhard at ci.st-joseph.mo.us]

I believe I can help with this.

To use the ports system to install openssl:

as root...

cd /usr/ports/security/openssl ; make install

That will install the OpenSSL Port for FreeBSD... I recommend running CVSup
before doing this to make sure you have a recent snapshot of the ports
tree.. it's updated almost daily.

Your problem is not a Mailman problem.

You will get the same problem if you run python from the command line and 
enter the Python statement "import socket".

The Python you have installed was configured to expect support for SSL.

The error is saying that a shared library that Python's socket module is 
expecting to find is not present i.e libssl.so.3.

This is probably part of the openssl package.

But being as I do not use FreeBSD I cannot help any further.
