[Mailman-Users] Error - can't open aliases.db

[Hydro John]

Sorry, I set this up so long ago, I don't remember the basic config info...
but I don't see any links? And the aliases file in /etc/aliases is
definitely different from /etc/mailman/aliases... not to mention the
/etc/aliases.db file being empty: 

[root at myserver etc]# ls -la ali*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 1512 Mar 23 09:54 aliases
-rw-r--r-- 1 root    root    2914 Mar 23 09:53 aliases.bak
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman    0 Jul  1 18:19 aliases.db
[root at myserver etc]# ls -la /etc/mailman/ali*
-rw-rw---- 1 root    mailman  4218 May 15 14:50 /etc/mailman/aliases
-rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 12288 May 15 14:50 /etc/mailman/aliases.db

Would you mind providing just a bit more info?? Thanks,
j
