This and everything subordinate to it needs to be group mailman. >drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 1024 Dec 28 13:07 bin >drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 512 Dec 28 13:07 cgi-bin >drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 512 Dec 28 13:07 cron >drwxrwsr-x 2 mailman mailman 512 Dec 28 15:54 data >drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 512 Dec 28 13:07 icons >drwxrwsr-x 6 mailman mailman 512 Dec 28 15:45 lists >drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 512 Dec 29 14:00 locks >drwxrwsr-x 2 mailman mailman 512 Dec 29 09:04 logs >drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 512 Dec 28 13:07 mail >drwxrwsr-x 37 root mailman 512 Dec 28 13:07 messages >drwxrwsr-x 5 root mailman 512 Dec 28 13:07 pythonlib >drwxrwsr-x 11 mailman mailman 512 Dec 28 15:54 qfiles >drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 512 Dec 28 13:07 scripts >drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 512 Dec 28 13:07 spam >drwxrwsr-x 38 root mailman 512 Dec 28 13:07 templates >drwxrwsr-x 4 root mailman 512 Dec 28 13:07 tests >dns1# cd archives >dns1# ls -l >total 4 >drwxrws--- 10 www www 512 Dec 28 15:45 private The owner of archives/private needs to be the user the web server runs as. I would think that would be 'www', but then I don't understand why public archive access doesn't work. See <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node9.html> for info on archives/private. Normally, it is o+x, but if not, it needs to be owned by the web server user but still group mailman. check_perms should fix a lot of this, but you may also need to do chggrp -R mailman /usr/local/mailman/archives/ and possibly for d in `find /usr/local/mailman/archives/ -type d -print` ; do chmod g+s $d done With the ownership and permissions you have here, Mailman shouldn't be able to even store anything in the archives. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
