i.e. Misname a feature of the ./configure utility? - very misleading! ;-)

I got --with-ownername and --with-ownergroup from the INSTALL file:
--8<---
- Add a new user called `mailman'. Typically this is added to
your /etc/passwd file. If username `mailman' is already in use,
choose something else unique and see the --with-ownername fla
Your real problem was that you were *too* clever. Normally if someone does
that, nothing works because they are not clever enough to setup redirect
first!
Congratulations...

Solution Found!
Okay, I found what was wrong after playing with nearly countless area of the
system. I had set DEFAULT_URL in mm_cfg.py to be:
DEFAULT_URL = 'http://virtualhost.mydomain.net/'
instead of
DEFAULT_URL = 'http://virtualhost.mydomain.net/mailman/'
As soon as I cha

Um, where did you get --with-ownername and --with-owner
But, you see, I did use those cgi-gid and mail-gid flags:
./configure --with-mail-gid=8 --with-cgi-gid=65534
--prefix=/var/lib/mailman --with-ownername=mail --with-ownergroup=mail
--prefix=/var/lib/mailman --with-username=mail --host=noggon.com
--with-groupname=mail
And, yes I just checked that
Sorry Ashley,
May be I am missing something here:
The sticky bit is on the group id so the group stays as mailman.
-My webserver (apache) runs as nobody:nogroup
-The config.db file has permissions -rw-rw (./ drwxrwsr-x)
-mailman cron runs and changes nobody:mailman to mailman:mailman

Hi Ashley,
But according to Ted's posting his config.db had the nobody:mailman
permission - not the mailman:mailman permission - so when the cron is run
the permissions will change from nobody:mailman to mailman:mailman
(rw-rw) right?
To avoid this should the cron be run as nobody:nogroup -

If your MM cron runs as the user mailman, it will retain the mailman permissions.

Hi Morgan.
I may be interested in those files. I'd love to determine what I'm doing wrong
with this setup though.
I tried clearing both the cookies and the cache locally and I even restarted
each of the browsers. That didn't work. So I booted up my linux workstation in

Actually, I am using IE 6.x for this.
After reading this, I went ahead and tried this in Netscape 4.79 but the same
thing happened.
I have only one more quirky thing with my setup, I should add. The hostname
isn't really in DNS as I'm calling it. Because this is a brand new system thats
