Right. Perhaps the trouble is that Apache runs outside of Cygwin (or more precisely, the trouble is that Mailman runs inside it :) although Apache is simply executing a binary which is built and runs inside Cygwin, so that must not be it. Perhaps the only real solution here is to port (fork) Mailman from Cygwin to native Win32. I can't even imagine what kind of work that would entail. I'm have to become far more python-savvy before the end, no doubt. > >> Apache is running as a service presumably in > >> the Administrators group so everything has to be in the > >> Administrators group for things to work. > > >Right, although Cygwin doesn't fully realize that the service is > >running in the Administrators group. > > Oh but I think it does, that's why it can't access the group > None files. I'm beginning to wonder how on earth Cygwin fakes the group id for files. Apparently there's nowhere to store it in Windows, so if Cygwin encounteres a file it didn't create, it must just guess. -Ben ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
