Do not "correct" this without reading and understanding the warning at <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node9.html>. >In addition to this, as new messages are archived and their associated files >and directories are created, I see results like the example below if I again >run the check_perms command: > >directory permissions must be 02775: >/private/var/mailman/archives/private/list-name/attachments/20090319 And what are the permissions on the newly created directories before you change them? Is the /private/var/mailman/archives/private/list-name/attachments/ directory SETGID? >Running check_perms -f fixes it, but the very next time a message is archived, >this permissions error condition occurs again. >I am using a graphical SSH utility called WinSCP to make these changes.
