Bug Description
The Mac OS X notes in the Installation Manual are out of date and need to be updated for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and 10.6 (Snow Leopard) which introduced significant changes.
The sample commands for adding a user and group use the niutil program which no longer exists in 10.5 and 10.6.
Also, I have posted some "how-tos" on installing GNU Mailman on OS X with specific instructions for 10.4 (Tiger) and 10.6 (Snow Leopard) that might be referenced in the Installation Manual.
Tiger installation how-to: <http://
Snow Leopard installation how-to: <http://
