It will remove root as owner on all Mailman files. Mailman will still run just find on Ubuntu with the proper permissions set by this script. I'm told this isn't limited to Ubuntu, but that many other distros need to have the check_perms script run after any new install or upgrades. You may have to run the script more than once. If you want to fix the perms on the symlinks, you'll have to fix those manually with the "- h" option on chgrp. When you finish, check_perms will return no errors, you'll have all the permissions you want, and Mailman will run fine. I just went through all this. See the list archives for a whole thread with my questions on this topic. Everything is resolved now. I'm on Ubuntu 12.04. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
