Yes, they need to be group writable, but they shouldn't need to be world writable. The question is what should the FAQ say (moot at the moment, because the FAQ apparently can't be updated, but I trust that will be fixed)? I don't understand the need for the 'adduser' you mentioned in your first post. Perhaps you can clarify what the permissions, etc. are in the Debian package as shipped, and what is required so we can get the FAQ right. Is it sufficient to chmod 0660 data/aliases.db chmod 0660 data/virtual-mailman.db and if so, why would Steinmetz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> say On Debian Sarge mailman:mailman does not exist The only way I found was to chmod 0666 data/aliases* (from <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=log&file=faq06.009.htp>)? -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
