You're first problem looks like a classic "permission denied"
problem. I'd suggest running bin/check_perms to see if that clears up
your problems.
The second issue you had (no module name "time") looks like your

I recently installed mailman 2.1 (upgrading over our mailman 2.13) to correct a
problem with list admin passwords.
At the time of the upgrade, I was running python 2.1
Today I finally ran genaliases to modify the old mm list aliases for the new
mailman.
With the aliases in place, I sent e-mail

OK, I upgraded to MM2.1. After having to run check_perms with -f to fix
permissions, I finally got the web pages up.

The ownership issue is a red-herring. As long as it's group owned by
mailman and it's g+rw you should be fine.
I'm guessing somewhere along the way Python got upgraded and the
status of the crypt libraries changed (either they were there before
and not now, or vice versa). Try setting USE_CRYPT
Just did another reinstall of 2.0.13. Again, installed with no problems.

NIS is used, but the mailman user account info is local to the web server.
Mailman's home directory, though, is shared between the
Catching up on a few of your messages...
I'm betting that your Web-server runs as user nobody, so changes via the
web to the list config may end-up as being owned by "nobody".
Shouldn't you have the sticky bit set for the group on all those

Oh, I should also add that, as user mailman, when I run:

I then rebuilt mailman (based on the new python). Again, mailman works EXCEPT

In this version of Mailman the admin password for the list is encrypted,
well sort of... If you want to be clever and look at the source you can
easily figure this part out.
In any case, I've seen this problem before after an upgrade and it seems
to be that the encryption has changed. Normally re
Now that we can see the plain-text passwords of members using dumpdb on the
config.db file, how can we see the specific list admin password for a given
list? I could see plaintext passwords for the users, but for what looked like
the admin, I saw something very different than what the password
The archives have a script for this (for versions 2.0.x), and you can
easily modify the script found here to do it (you will have to be system
admin):
