Interesting, because I remember using UID and GID's that were in the 1000+
range for the chroot (but that was six months ago so I could just be
hallucinating)

Sorry, I did not quote enough to get context. The issue here is not the GID's but the permissions on directories that run CGI. As far as I can tell Ensim will not run CGI if the directory or script has permissions over 755. This conflicts with what mailman wants. Will changing the permissions on the mailman cgi-bin to 755 kill mail man?


 - su as the local chrooted user that runs the webserver (generally the
admin of the chroot)
 - run the admin cgi from the command line:  ~mailman/cgi-gin/admin

This should dump out the source of a web-page to the command line (like when
you look at a web-page and click on "View Source".  It's a simple check.  If
that works then your Mailman install is working fine and the problems must
be in the Chroot web-server setup.

Ah, another problem. 'Mailman expected the CGI wrapper script to be executed as group "apache", but
the system's web server executed the CGI script as group "admin". ' That I can fix by rerunning configure .... I think!


That plain Red Hat box is looking cheaper and cheaper!
