Hi Stephen, It's looking like an entry for mailman in /etc/init.d has been removed. If I try and do the following: -bash-2.05b$ /sbin/chkconfig --del blarg error reading information on service blarg: No such file or directory your options are: forcing the removal (using rpm), copying /etc/init.d/mailman from another machine (or forcing it to install again) then attempting to remove it again. Hope this Helps, Erik. On Wed, 2003-05-21 at 09:38, Stephen Granade wrote: > I've run into an odd error in trying to remove the mailman package from my > RHG/L 9 box.
