There are two things going on here. First, and not really relevant to the big picture, it appears you must be upgrading lists because the section of code you're in is only reached if the data version of the /var/lib/mailman/lists/mailman/config.pck file is less that the current software version. That aside, you will have problems anyway if the software can't create and write lock files. Have you run bin/check_perms to check permissions. You should run it as root with the -f option until it runs cleanly. If you're sure that all directories in the /var/lib/mailman/locks/ path have search (x or maybe group s) permission for Mailman's group (or world in the case of /var/ and /var/lib/) and the /var/lib/mailman/locks/ directory itself also has read and write for Mailman's group and you still get the above error, it may be due to SeLinux or some other security policy . -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
