It doesn't matter what the owner is. Only the group is important and as
long as the group is the Mailman group ('mailman' in your case), the
owner can be anything.
If you create a list as root, the owner will be root. If you create a
list as mailman, either via logging in as mailman or via su or sudo as
mailman, then the owner will be mailman. If you create a list via the
web create script, the owner will be the web server user, but none of
this is significant. Only the group is important.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman Permissions
I was looking today at /var/lib/mailman/lists and happened to notice the owner seems to vary. It appears that some older lists are owner by mailman:mailman and lists that I have recently created are owner by root:mailman. Here is what I see on my server: drwxrwsr-x 2 rootmailman 4096 Jun 13 13:02 lt2_support_thread drwxrwsr-x 2 rootmailman 4096 Jun 13 12:00 lvc_i2 drwxrwsr-x 2 mailman mailman 4096 Jun 13 12:00 mailman drwxrwsr-x 2 mailman mailman 4096 Jun 13 12:00 ngit drwxrwsr-x 2 rootmailman 4096 Jun 13 12:00 performancewg drwxrwsr-x 2 mailman mailman 4096 Jun 13 12:00 perf_results drwxrwsr-x 2 mailman mailman 4096 Jun 13 12:00 ptr_review_board drwxrwsr-x 2 mailman mailman 4096 Jun 13 12:00 risk_management_wg drwxrwsr-x 2 rootmailman 4096 Jun 13 12:00 scrum drwxrwsr-x 2 mailman mailman 4096 Jun 13 12:57 services_ipt drwxrwsr-x 2 mailman mailman 4096 Jun 13 12:00 stm_ipt drwxrwsr-x 2 mailman mailman 4096 Jun 13 12:00 syscon_thread drwxrwsr-x 2 rootmailman 4096 Jun 13 13:11 zoo Now I know all the lists I create are done in CLI mode using the "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/.newlist" script which walks me through the process easily. My question here is does it matter that some are owned by mailman and others by root and if so, how do I generate new lists properly as mailman:mailman? Thanks for any support and or info! I am using Linux RHEL 4.6 and mailman-2.1.5.1-34.rhel4.6. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
[Mailman-Users] Mailman permissions errors
Howdy, I've been running a mailman install for the last couple of weeks, and errors like this one occasionally pop up in the logs... Are they anything to be worried about? from /var/log/mailman/error Jul 10 15:32:55 2004 (611) Uncaught runner exception: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman /archives/private/cadre-config/database/2004-date.lock.csl-lists-01.611.164 etc...
