What you are saying is that /home/mailman is group 'mailman', group writable and searchable and SETGID and you are a member of the 'mailman' group yet you can't create subdirectories in /home/mailman. The only thing that comes to mind is this from section 3.1 of the installation manual You must also have permission to create a setgid file in the file system where it resides (NFS and other mounts can be configured to inhibit setgid settings). -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
