My memory of the thread says that this happens periodically. I've now forgotten what aspect of the fix isn't permanent in your case. If it is the setgid bit, then perhaps there is a periodic "nanny" process which removes dangerous setgid bits. If so, there probably is a "these are OK" list associated with the process. Traditionally, one looked carefully at what is run by cron...in some cases that no longer suffices...for example Apple has moved much of the periodic stuff out of cron into their launchd thing. (Which probably isn't really theirs, but Mac OS X is where I encounter the beast.) --John ------------------------------------------------------ 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
