The 'mailman' user should be in the 'mailman' group (not in www) and all mailman files, including particularly the mail/mailman wrapper and the cgi-bin/* wrappers should be group mailman and setgid. Run bin/check_perms -f as root until it reports no errors. >> See http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node7.html > >I remember that web page. I re-ran configure several times by now.

I am quite happy to >have mail-gid=mailman and cgi-gid=apache, if I could make it work that way. --with-mail-gid= needs to be set to the group that postfix uses to pipe mail to the mail/mailman wrapper. --with-cgi-gid= needs to be set to the group that apache uses to execute the cgi-bin wrappers. This group is set in the Apache config with the Group directive, so if the apache config contains Group apache then Mailman must be configured using --with-cgi-gid=apache OTOH, if Mailman is configured using --with-cgi-gid=somethingelse this can work too if the apache config contains Group somethingelse The analagous situation is true with postfix and --with-mail-gid except I can't offhand tell you how to set group in postfix. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
