Hi Stephen,
It's looking like an entry for mailman in /etc/init.d has been removed.
If I try and do the following:
-bash-2.05b$ /sbin/chkconfig --del blarg
error reading information on service blarg: No such file or directory
your options are: forcing the removal (using rpm), copying
/etc/init.d/mailman from another machine (or forcing it to install
again) then attempting to remove it again.
Hope this Helps,
Erik.
