Summary: Missing steps
Initial Comment:
The Installation Guide's step 4:
O Run bin/check_perms -f
is broken! It needs to be changed to:
O cd /usr/local/mailman
O Run bin/check_perms -f
You also need to add the following missing step as per check_perms' complaint
just after the new "cd"
command above to satisfy check_perms:
O chmod o-x archives/private

It says "First change to the installation (i.e. $prefix) directory, then
run the bin/check_perms program." That seems sufficient.
Regarding "chmod o-x archives/private", you may or may not want to do
that. I know check_perms says
Warning: Private archive directory is other-executable (o+x).
This could allow other users on your system to read private
archives.
If you're on a shared multiuser system, you should consult the
installation manual on how to fix this.
And it means what it says, i.e. see the "Warning" box in section 4 of the
installation manual which tells you what you need to do if you want to
protect private archives from access by other users on your system.
