It seems to work alright, but there is a problem with a cronjob that runs every minute and produces the following error to messages: Sep 23 08:32:00 pan CRON[37708]: _secure_path: cannot stat -s/.login_conf: Permission denied I assume this is because user mailman is in passwd like this: mailman:f[bla-bla]U:89:89::0:0:User &:-s:/bin/sh He has no /home/dir and no .login_conf. Adding this manually may be insecure?? The cron job is one of those in a cron file that comes with mailman. We are instructed in mailman install to add that to crontab as user mailman. Running the cronjobs as some other user?? Any suggestions? Please, CC, to me, as I am not subscribed to ports. -- *------------------------------------------------------* Marc Schneiders (the rest is in the header, really) *------------------------------------------------------* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
