Hi Gerald, I wish I could say that is my solution - I am still having problems and am sure it is to do with the httpd or python binary not running on a suid partition - therefore I am going to ask for further info from the list and if required make changes later (when I am closer to the machine)
I would appreicate knowing if your fstab options that are on the partition of python or apache or mailman have the suid (or 'defaults') options specified. Cheers Scott PS I include this into the mailing list for its information.
