Richard, It is simple just read the INSTALL file in with the install files. This is the excerpt from it. If you want to start Mailman every time you reboot your system, and your OS supports the chkconfig command (e.g. RedHat and Mandrake Linuxes) you can simply do the following

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 t
