The archives/private and archives/public directories should be either drwxrws--x 16 root mailman 4096 Jan 18 08:27 private drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 4096 Dec 3 13:08 public or drwxrws--- 16 xxxx mailman 4096 Jan 18 08:27 private drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 4096 Dec 3 13:08 public Where xxxx is the web server user. I.e. archives/private must be searchable by the web server for public archives to be accessible. Other than xxx in case 2 above, owner doesn't matter, but group should be Mailman's group. The contents of archives/public are all symlinks. within archives/private, everything should be Mailman's group, all directories should be 'drwxrwsr-x' and all files should be '-rw-rw-r--' with the exception that pipermail.pck, database and database/* do not have 'other' permissions. As far as permissions not sticking, there are some things about this with Mac OS X in the archives of this list. See for example <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2004-July/037903.html> and <http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Amail.python.org++inurl%3Amailman-users+%22permission+denied%22+mac+os>, although that may not be relevant for Mac OS X 10.5.4 as it is mostly about older versions. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
