Well, there are no mailman processes running... And I would THINK that the
lockfiles were generated automatically, but apparently not.
The locks dir is drwxrwsr-x mailman:mailman as it should be, yes?

I don't have a list_lists command (this is 1.1. Neither of my
installations has a list_lists), but the active lists show up on the pages
that browse lists (http://host/mailman/listinfo, etc.).
check_db on each list comes out fine.
I've removed one list, I think, in my entire time running mailman and that
was weeks before i made the permissions errors that brought me where I am.
I just ran ~/bin/update (even though I didn't upgrade) and it said "you're
either one brave soul, or you already ran me" on every list... save one.
Hmm... I wonder...
Maybe it's fixed. I'll watch cron output.
