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The Mac OS X notes in the Installation Manual are out of date and need to be updated for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and 10.6 (Snow Leopard) which introduced significant changes.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://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-July/045697.html>
Snow Leopard installation how-to: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2010-May/069385.html> (I believe this should work for Leopard (10.5) as well)
