My problem is trying to find out why.

Make sense? which file permissions are wrong? which ones do I have to change? check_perms -f changes get undone constantly and I don't know by what. if check_perms reports some "group list and not mailman" stuff I don't experience any problems and nothing changes when I fix them. When my web-interface doesn't work i.e. ls -l /var/lib/mailman/lists/listname/ total 24 -rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 4284 Sep 14 12:00 config.pck then it will not work regardless of what check_perms says or does. all I know is: if I chown -R www-data /var/lib/mailman/lists then it works again. *help* ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
