[wplug] mailman/python error under redhat 9

[John Harrold]

Sometime in May Tim Lesher assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| No, python is finding getgrnam() just fine.  The problem is that
| getgrname() is not finding its argument, which is the MAILMAN_GROUP
| member of the mm_cfg dictionary (a KeyError means that a dictionary
| lookup by key failed).
| 
| Sounds like your friend didn't edit the mm_cfg.py file to set the
| MAILMAN_GROUP and MAILMAN_USER variables.

bare with my python ignorance here. in the file mm_cfg.py there are the
following lines:

MAILMAN_UID = pwd.getpwnam('mailman')[2]
MAILMAN_GID = grp.getgrnam('mailman')[2]

if this behaves like i would expect, i would assume that it determines the
gid and uid on it's own?

 "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of
  the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to
  drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship,
  or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the
  people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is
  easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and
  denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country
  to greater danger."
