Comment on OS X Server 10.4.8 and Mailman by Forest Mars

Just don’t try using Server Admin to manage Mailman lists over say 5K, which have proven too big for Server Admin to handle, and will choke and sputter. This behaviour is well notated on the Macos-x-server mailing list, and is apparently still not fixed in 10.5.

In Step #6 above,
“Or, if you are logging in as a user, for example, clyde, it would be in /home/clyde/authorized_keys. ”

omits the .ssh directory. should be:

“Or, if you are logging in as a user, for example, clyde, it would be in /home/clyde/.ssh/authorized_keys. ”

Otherwise, thanks, very helpful.

Some Notes on File Permissions:
- the .ssh directory has to be 755 or more restrictive (that is, only the owner can write to it, not group) or SSH authentication will not work.
- same thing for authorized_keys file in the .ssh directory.
