What's the message in your web server's error_log? >I >currently have: > >drwxrwx--x 9 billc mailman 306 27 Mar 15:26 private > > drwxrwxr-x 9 root mailman 306 27 Mar 03:27 discussion > drwxrwxr-x 3 root mailman 102 27 Mar 02:08 discussion.mbox > drwxrwsr-x 3 root mailman 102 23 Mar 12:07 mailman > drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 68 23 Mar 12:07 mailman.mbox > drwxrwsr-x 9 billc mailman 306 24 Mar 03:27 testlist > drwxrwsr-x 3 billc mailman 102 24 Mar 01:51 testlist.mbox > >drwxrwsr-x 5 billc mailman 170 27 Mar 15:26 public > > lrwxr-xr-x 1 billc mailman 46 27 Mar 15:13 discussion -> >/usr/local/mailman/archives/private/discussion > lrwxr-xr-x 1 billc mailman 44 23 Mar 12:59 testlist -> >/usr/local/mailman/archives/private/testlist > >I"m also getting: > >Warning: Private archive directory is other-executable (o+x). > This could allow other users on your system to read private archives. > If you're on a shared multiuser system, you should consult the > installation manual on how to fix this. > >when running check_perms. > >What *should* they be? The permissions above look mostly correct, but is every directory in /path/to/archives/ also at least o+x (normally, o+rx). Also, archives/private is normally g+s as are it's subordinates. It looks like this changed sometime between the creation of testlist and the creation of discussion. If archives/private isn't SETGID (g+s), it is possible that, for example, root could run bin/arch and create directories and files that aren't group mailman, and these would then not be writable by mailman. The warning from check_perms is just a message that you might consider changing that if you are concerned about non-privileged users with shell or possibly ftp access to your server being able to see your private archives, but if you remove the o+x, you also need to make your web server the owner of the archives/private directory.
