I'm trying to tell you why :-) Below are the cgi wrappers on my system as a reference point, adjust the path for your installation. The key thing to note here is the wrapper (anything in the mailman/cgi-bin directory) has two critical properties 1) it is in the group mailman 2) it is setgid (the s flag in the group execute field) What this means is when some entity (e.g. your web server, apache) runs one of this cgi-bin programs the OS will note the files is setgid and then run the program as the group the program file belongs to (e.g. mailman). Without setgid sticky bit the OS will run the program as the group belonging to the entity that invoked it (in this case apache) which appears from your description as to what is happening, the group ownerships are getting changed to apache's group. To further expand on what is happening: when one of these cgi-bin wrappers is called the very first thing it does is ask the following question Who called me? If they are not in a group I trust I refuse to execute because I only work on behest of a select set of trusted groups. For the cgi-bin wrappers that set of groups is the set of groups belonging to your web server and what is set via --with-cgi-gid. If the entity that invoked the wrapper is not in the set of trusted groups you get a group mismatch error and the wrapper exits. If the trust test passes the wrapper continues to execute in the group mailman (because the wrapper's file has the setgid sticky bit set and belongs to the group mailman). If either the setgid sticky bit is not set -or- the wrappers file is not group mailman you're going to get the type of permission problems you're seeing. FWIW, the description applies to the mail wrapper and the MTA, just change the names ;-) % ls -l /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/ total 264 -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman 18345 Mar 7 2005 admin -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman 18349 Mar 7 2005 admindb -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman 18349 Mar 7 2005 confirm -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman 18349 Mar 7 2005 create -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman 18353 Mar 7 2005 edithtml -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman 18353 Mar 7 2005 listinfo -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman 18349 Mar 7 2005 options -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman 18349 Mar 7 2005 private -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman 18349 Mar 7 2005 rmlist -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman 18349 Mar 7 2005 roster -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman 18353 Mar 7 2005 subscribe -- John Dennis [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 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=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

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.

Without making changes to the Mailman source code, or changing the defaults that ship with Mailman, you can't do this from the web admin interface, unless you've got a really small list. Even if you do change the defaults (so as to display more members on a page), that's still just going to be presented the same way as the information you already see -- probably not what you're looking for.

[Mailman-Users] third-level domains
First off, to give you all a general overview: 1 Web Server - handles domain.com, www.domain.com requests 2 Mail Server - Postfix using virtual domains from mySQL DB I have mailman on the mail server (since it seems to require this) and so installed apache on it. DNS points all domains mail.domain.com to the mail server. Since the mailman user access and admin access pages are pointed to the domain of the list, using mail.domain.com makes sense for lists. So [EMAIL PROTECTED] The issue is, I have the following in my mm_cfg.py: POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['mail.azxws.com'] add_virtualhost('mail.azxws.com') I have postfix transport for mail.azxws.com set to virtual When I am the mailman user and do ./bin/newlist [EMAIL PROTECTED], I get an e-mail to the admin account I specify with links to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not mail.azxws.com. Also, when I send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get an error that it loops back upon itself, and when I try [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get an error that the user doesn't exist (since azxws.com is a virtual domain that has e-mail addresses used by it). Please let me know what might help troubleshoot this. I'm at my wits end. Thanks.
