As some would know, there seems to be an issue with Mailman on OSX, where some systems will periodically see the cronjob sending an error out to root via email in relation to the file config.pck.last not being able to be re-written or whatever. I have had this twice now, both times a couple of days after a System Update has been applied. On both occasions, I have run check_perms & the errors have disappeared. My guess here is that the system update (the latest being 10.3.9) seems to have changed something critical to Mailman in terms of permissions. So, if anyone else is experiencing this problem, I would suggest trying to run check_perms & see if the problems disappear.
Interesting. I updated to 10.3.9 last night and have had no problems. Checking in my mailman directory, I see config.pck and config.pck.last files that all have update times since the OS update.
I have not run Mac OS X's "repair disk permissions" since the update. I know many people recommend doing so both before and after applying any OS update but I've found doing so actually causes me problems - it changes the permissions on /var/mail to something pine does not like.

Yes, I agree. It doesn't happen straight away - I had 3 days of runtime after the update before that problem showed up again. I have no answer & it does not seem to happen on every OSX installation either.
