They should all be GID = the group of the 'mailman' user, which is probably 'mailman' judging from the group mismatch error you reported. Then, the question is why doesn't bin/check_perms -f fix it? Are you running this as root? >Silly question, is the mail wrapper the /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman >file? Yes. >Aliases is root mail and aliases.db is mail mail > >Isn't group mailman used at all? Which ailases and aliases.db. The ones in /etc, I'm guessing. With MTA = 'Postfix' Mailman maintains its aliases separately in Mailman's data/aliases and data/aliases.db. These are the files that are apparently GID='mailman' and not GID='mail'. However, if you change them to GID='mail', Mailman's list create and delete processes may no longer be able to update them, so you may be stuck. See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.016.htp> for more on how Mailman uses groups. It seems like whoever created your package either didn't intend you to use Postfix or did a poor job. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
