hello,
the mailmanctl script doesn't set groups.
so when i run mailmanctl as root, i become list:list but still have the
groups that root has. that's a grave security bug.

a possible (and working) patch is attached.

bye
 mejo
 
ps: since the bug-reporting system at sourceforge doesn't work atm, i
report the bug to the two mailman lists.
