Mailman was originally configured with "--with-mail-gid=mailman --with-cgi-gid=www". These are the groups the wrappers are expecting to be invoked by, and this won't change. The MTA will still invoke the mail wrapper as group 'mailman' and the web server will still invoke the cgi wrappers as group 'www'. What may change is the effective group set via the SETGID bit and the group ownership of the wrapper, but the wrapper doesn't check these things, so no recompilation of the wrapper should be necessary. Just make sure that the wrappers' group is the one that has permissions on all the Mailman files. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
