All the archives work when in private state. But I had to manually

archives/private, or just the archive folders and not the mbox folders?
The archives/private folder itself is already _www.
Thanks for your continued tolerance and assistance.
For public archives to work, the web server needs to be able to search
the archives/private directory that the archives/public/ symlinks point
into.
Normally this only requires that the archives/private/ directory itself,
not any subordinates, be either o+x or owned by the web server user. The
subordinate LISTNAME and LISTNAME.mbox directories are normally
rwxrwsr-x and Mailman's group so Mailman can read and write them and
subordinates will be created in Mailman's group and the web server can
read and search them.
It's only archives/private itself which is in Mailman's group and either
rwxrws--x or if rwxrws---, owned by the web server user. Otherwise,
ownership doesn't matter.

Well, I had it all working on Monday night.
I got a report today that someone was getting "Forbidden" again.
The owner of the list in question (and only that one list, not any of
the other publicly archived lists - which have not seen any posts in the
last two days) had changed back from _www to root. CHOWNing it back to
_www again brings up the archive, but then it was only showing the last
two days worth of archives (owner of those posts: _mailman, the rest
were root). Rebuilding the archives with --wipe and running Check perms
-f (which is already cron jobbed to run every night) made the rest of
them visible again.
What do i need to do so that I don't have to jump these hoops daily?
Thanks yet again.
