Hi there, I hope this is the right place to file this request to edit the file: /usr/share/doc/mailman-2.1.7/INSTALL.REDHAT I was following these instructions to configure mailman. On typing many of the commands, I was presented with errors like this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/genaliases", line 116, in ? main() File "bin/genaliases", line 102, in main MTA.create(None, nolock=True, quiet=quiet) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py", line 232, in create _update_maps() File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py", line 53, in _update_maps raise RuntimeError, msg % (acmd, status, errstr) RuntimeError: command failed: /usr/sbin/postalias /etc/mailman/aliases (status: 1, Operation not permitted). I was running in SELinux Enforcing mode. It turns out that these problems don't happen if you are in Permissive mode. Is it worth pointing this out in that peice of documentation? I think it would help. Thanks, Michael

Not really a duplicate, per se, although it does appear that the errors encountered were because of the lack of appropriate policy. The document at /usr/share/doc/mailman* is owned by the mailman package. So, at the least, this bug report would start there. However, it might really be considered to be a bug in the upstream Mailman content. If you feel this report is still appropriate for the mailman package, let's move/reassign the bug over there. If it is no longer a problem and/or the content needs to be changed upstream in Mailman, we'll close this NOTABUG.
This does not appear to be a documentation issue.
Ticket moved to allow products to be removed from BZ.
