The way this is supposed to work is all the files in /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/ are compiled wrappers that are supposed to be group 'mailman' and SETGID. Thus, when they are invoked through Apache's ScriptAlias, they run with effective group 'mailman'. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/tYA9> for more detail. You should not add user 'apache' to the 'mailman' group. This could potentially give public access to things which aren't public. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
