Alrighty, thanks everyone for the help, I solved (or at least worked-around) the issue.
Apparently someone some time ago installed a mailman RPM onto this server and just left it for dead without setting up postfix and all that jazz. It installed everything into /var/mailman where I am installing everything into /usr/local/mailman. For some reason my web server was looking to /var/mailman for data, even though I cannot find anything in httpd.conf that points to /var/mailman. So, while I was happily updating and tinkering with everything in /usr/local/mailman Apache was looking to the wrong place and not finding the lists or proper passwords. So, my last challenge is to figure out why Apache is looking to /var/mailman where I can't find anything in the config to tell it to look there. Maybe its somewhere else. For a workaround I just renamed the /var/mailman directory and created a symbolic link from /var/mailman to /usr/local/mailman. It works, but I still want to know how to get Apache to look to the right spot. I do have in httpd.conf: ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/ Alias /pipermail/ /usr/local/mailman/archives/public/ That's not really the job of you folks here to troubleshoot Apache issues, but if someone is feeling kind....

This has to be a case of the web server not being able to access the lists/ directory or its subordinates. If bin/check_perms finds no problems, maybe its a SELinux issue. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
