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.
I think not. I believe you are mistaking the meaning of the output from the id command you are running. The group affiliations of the process do not mean that the uid in the output has privileges of those groups. Just try getting the code in the ArchRunner.py to modify a file owned by root with no write privileges for other when mailmanctl has ben started by root to see what I mean. The process will only have the privileges associated with the uid/euid and gid/egid.
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.
