Probably it is all lists. The first thing mailmanctl does is set its user and group to those of Mailman. So there are two possibilities. Either 'mailman' doesn't have sufficient access to even 'see' /var/lib/mailman/lists/*/config.pck. The permissions and ownership on /var/lib/mailman should be drwxrwsr-x mailman mailman check that, and if that doesn't solve your issue, run Mailman's bin/check_perms -f as root. If that still doesn't solve it, look at Mailman/Defaults.py for the definition of PREFIX and VAR_PREFIX to ensure they are what you think they are. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
