Prior to 2.1.10, check_perms had a bug and didn't check the owner and group permissions on the archives/private directory itself. Permissions should be 2771 or maybe 2770 (drwxrws--x or drwxrws---). If archives/private is not o+x, it needs to be owned by the web server for public archive URLs to work. Subordinate directories should be 2775 (drwxrwsr-x) and subordinate files 0664 (-rw-rw-r--) except for the archives/private/*/database/ directory and subordinate files which should not have 'other' permissions. >FWIW, the owner:group for /usr/lib/mailman and /var/lib/mailman trees is >mailman:mail. > >I should also note that the command (it was just a help command to req) did >work but I did not want to try actually mailing something to a list until this >is all fixed. It is not clear to my why a help command to the -request address would try to lock the archive. Is (was) 2271 the pid of CommandRunner? -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
