mailmanctl forks copies of itself which become the master watcher and the qrunners. These forked copy processes are also attached to your ssh pseudo tty and sshd waits for them to terminate before closing the connection. Of course, they don't terminate (we hope) so you eventually close the connection from your side, but I think your sshd process still waits. What is your OS? If you install a /etc/init.d/mailman script (see <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node42.html>) and start mailman via the service command, I think you avoid this issue. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
