All the files in the cgi-bin have the same mod date & time. I believe that it's the compiled code (which probably means the maintainer) thought there was a problem with "private"? There doesn't seem to be any package documentation (README files, change logs, etc) installed with it either. It seems to me that the problem lies with the Debian maintainer of Mailman. Thank you for helping me to see past the symptoms. I wonder what would happen if I just renamed "private.bad" to "private"? -- Raquel ============================================================ All life is an experiment.
