They're all set correctly. Think I read somewhere that set-guid doesn't work properly on BSD, which Mac OSXS is based on.

MacOS X 10.3.9 has turned off all setuid (that's SETUID, not SETGID) shell scripts, but if you know the magic incantation you can turn them back on. However, Python is not a shell script, so this isn't a problem for us.


So far as I know, setgid works just fine on MacOS X, at least for non-shell scripts. Of course, Mailman uses setuid and not setgid, so this wouldn't be a problem for us anyway.
