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 root mailman 4096 Jun 13 13:02 lt2_support_thread drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 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 root mailman 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 root mailman 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 root mailman 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
