Well, here is what make options from the mailman port says:
> make options
===> Build options for mailman-2.0.12:
* MM_USERNAME [mailman]
The username of the Mailman user
* MM_USERID [92]
The user ID of the Mailman user
It is recommended that you do not change this option.
* MM_GROUPNAME [mailman]
The group to which the Mailman user will belong
* MM_GROUPID [92]
The group ID for the Mailman user
It is recommended that you do not change this option.
Its kind of bizarre, because the Makefile says:
# The Mailman port supports a number of variables that may be tweaked at
# build time. Getting the values of some of them right is crucial!
# Perform a "make options" to see more information on these variables.
#
MM_USERNAME?= mailman
MM_USERID?= 91
MM_GROUPNAME?= ${MM_USERNAME}
MM_GROUPID?= ${MM_USERID}
So ... I dunno what the solution is here. Should mailman be UID/GID 90?
Should I create a gdm UID/GID with 92?
No comment from the mailman camp yet?
Thanks.
