Hi,

The last RHEL3 update pack contains a mailman package. I'm using that
on a new mailserver and found a little problem with cron when starting/
stopping the mailman service. RedHat moves the mailman crontab in and
out every time, however, crond only notes the 'move in', not the 'move
out. This is because the /etc/cron.d/ timestamp only changes by a
'move in'.

My fix: add

rm -f $DST_CRON_SCRIPT

as the first line in the function RemoveCron() in /etc/init.d/mailman.

Cheers,
