The mailman group is unable to create the /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/english_news.mbox' directory. The most likely cause of this is insufficient permission on the /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/' directory (There is a bug in check_perms so it doesn't catch this). The minimum permissions on the /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/' directory are 02770 and group mailman, although on most systems, the permissions need to be 02771 for public archives to work. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
