Whats interesting is that on RHEL 4U3, the RPM info points to /var/mailman/bin,
but mailman is installed into /usr/lib/mailman.  Same bug, different path.

[root@myserver ~]# rpm -qi mailman

Summary     : Mailing list manager with built in Web access.
Description :
Mailman is software to help manage email discussion lists, much like
Majordomo and Smartmail. Unlike most similar products, Mailman gives
each mailing list a webpage, and allows users to subscribe,
unsubscribe, etc. over the Web. Even the list manager can administer
his or her list entirely from the Web. Mailman also integrates most
things people want to do with mailing lists, including archiving, mail
<-> news gateways, and so on.

When the package has finished installing, you will need to:

* Run /var/mailman/bin/mmsitepass
to set the mailman administrator password.
* Edit /var/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py

[root@myserver ~]# rpm -ql mailman|grep mmsitepass
/usr/lib/mailman/bin/mmsitepass

This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd.

Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and
either update the target product or close it ?

Thanks.

The documetation and spec file have been updated in FC5.
