Hi Mark, I did consider all those, but perhaps I am just missing the point. I have rechecked after your suggestions, but those seem to point to the correct paths: HTDIG_CONF_LINK_DIR = os.path.join(VAR_PREFIX, 'archives', 'htdig') VAR_PREFIX= '/usr/local/mailman' /usr/local/mailman/archives/htdig/ has those links. Today, I have received the following message from mailman: From: Cron Daemon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2005 02:19:08 +0300 Subject: Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> /usr/local/bin/python -S /usr/local/mailman/cron/nightly_htdig /usr/bin/sort: mkstemp error: Permission denied htmerge: Word sort failed /usr/bin/sort: mkstemp error: Permission denied htmerge: Word sort failed Could this be a good pointer to my problem? cheers - wash +----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ Odhiambo Washington .
