hmm... it's troubling that check_perms -f didn't fix this, it should
have. I can only think of two reasons check_perms would miss the cgi-bin
files
1) Its a non-standard installation and check_perms was not updated to
reflect the new installation.
2) The fact the cgi-bin directory is a symbolic link (but I would expect
that to be transparent because links should just be followed).
You might want to run check_perms with the -v verbose option (without
the -f it won't change anything). With verbose it will tell you exactly
what its checking. You could do something like "check_perms -v | grep
cgi" If you don't get something like the output below then you need to
file a bug against whoever provided your mailman package for why
check_perms is missing your cgi-bin directory.
