For those who care, I've found out what the mysterious message containing "/root:" and some number was all about. It comes from Lynx, the text-based Web client, which Mailman (our friendly local list server software) uses to convert HTML to text. On some versions of RedHat Linux (on which I'm running Mailman), if Mailman is started by root, then Lynx tries to use /root as its temporary directory, but it cannot, since it doesn't have permission.
I've made the necessary changes to prevent this. Nick -- Nick Arnett Phone/fax: (408) 904-7198 [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
