ignore my previous confusion about www-data and cgi-scripts: since then i got to know that the scripts are setgid list.
but this prints a ton of directories that have the wrong permission after installing the package: $ sudo -u list -g list /usr/lib/mailman/bin/check_perms | less to fix the permissions run: $ sudo /usr/lib/mailman/bin/check_perms -f (will keep on complaining for some symlinks, but it's safe to ignore, because it fixes the target but checks the symlinks themselves) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to mailman in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543148 Title: Private Archive Permissions Are Incorrect -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
