Is this a simple as changing the permissions of the directory it is
complaing about, or something else?
The permissions of /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/ is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] / # ls -all /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/
total 16
drwxr-x--x 4 mailman mailman 4096 Jan 6 10:08 .
drwxrwsr-x 4 mailman mailman 4096 Jan 6 10:06 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 mailman mailman 0 Jan 6 10:06 .keep
drwxrwxr-x 4 mailman mailman 4096 Jan 6 10:11 mailman
drwxrwxr-x 2 mailman mailman 4096 Jan 6 10:11 mailman.mbox
Every thing else in the web interface is fine, all works nicly.
I can create a list by :
bin/newlist
as the mailman user, it is purly the web interface.
Anyone got any ideas to help out a clueless newbie?
Many Thanks for your time!!
Mike....
