Notice that the error is coming from the "sort" program which apparently is being called by htdig. Do your /tmp or /var/tmp directories exist and have proper permissions? Is there enough free space? Depending on the size of your archives, htdig can require a lot of space. (The 'sort' program only uses temporary files when it runs low on memory, too, so you might consider getting more RAM.) > I get this error every night on a FreeBSD 4.6.2 box with Mailman 2.1.1 > with htdig patches.

Any help is appreciated. > Also note that changing ownership to "mailman:mailman" isn't always enough, because sometimes parts of mailman are run as root but are setgid to mailman. So you need to make sure that files have group write permission as well. You can run "bin/fix_perms -f "in your mailman distribution which should fix the mailman permissions, but that won't affect htdig and sort. --Jeremy ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
