I suggest you try install Mailman from source <http://sourceforge.net/projects/mailman> and configure it with --prefix=/var/www/mailman and --with-cgi-gid=67 as well as the appropriate --with-mail-gid. Alternatively, there may be a way to set the expected cgi group in whatever package you installed and you might be able to set that to 67. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
