I just installed Mailman on my Debian mail server and am following the guide however I used my package installer to install Mailman. I did not build from source. I am running v2.1.9-7 and it installed fine but when I run /usr/lib/mailman/bin/check_perms -f, I get the following:
email:/usr/lib/mailman/bin# ./check_perms -f /var/lib/mailman/mail bad group (has: root, expected list) (fixing) /var/lib/mailman/scripts bad group (has: root, expected list) (fixing) /var/lib/mailman/templates bad group (has: root, expected list) (fixing) /var/lib/mailman/pythonlib bad group (has: root, expected list) (fixing) /var/lib/mailman/cron bad group (has: root, expected list) (fixing) /var/lib/mailman/locks bad group (has: root, expected list) (fixing) /var/lib/mailman/bin bad group (has: root, expected list) (fixing) /var/lib/mailman/icons bad group (has: root, expected list) (fixing) /var/lib/mailman/logs bad group (has: root, expected list) (fixing) /var/lib/mailman/Mailman bad group (has: root, expected list) (fixing) /var/lib/mailman/cgi-bin bad group (has: root, expected list) (fixing) Problems found: 11 Re-run as list (or root) with -f flag to fix I did create the mailman user and mailman group manually. $ groupadd mailman $ useradd -c "GNU Mailman" -s /bin/false -d /no/home -g mailman mailman No matter how many times I run the "check_perms" script with the -f flag, it will not fix the 11 issues. I have stopped and restarted Mailman several times. Anyone know what I am doing wrong? ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 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://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
