GNU/LINUX ISSUES

    GNU/Linux seems to be the most popular platform on which to run
    Mailman.  Here are some hints on getting Mailman to run on Linux:

    If you are running secure_linux, you probably have restricted
    hardlinks turned on.  Gergely Madarasz says that this not only
    restricts hardlinks in /tmp, but also in any non +t directory.  This
    can cause "Operation not permitted" errors in MailList.Save() -- you
    will see a traceback.  You must turn restricted hardlinks off.  This
    is also known under the name of Openwall Security Patches.

    There is a workaround for this problem, you can use securelinux_fix.py
    in the contrib directory (see the README.securelinux_fix.py). Note
    that the script will not work until you move it in your installed
    Mailman tree in the bin directory.
