If they were running as user root (very bad idea. Don't do it unless you really have to kids! ..And even then... Mm,kay?) then they would be able to write to the data directory. Similarly, if the user that your mailman installation runs under is NOT a part of the mailman group it would NOT be able to write to the data/spool directories. Can I suggest you look in your messages and syslog files to see if any of the mailman processes have carped about not having write access to some part of your installation. It's solaris so will probably be /var/adm/message and /var/log/syslog although your setup may be different. I'd strongly suspect that this is probably a file/directory ownership problem first off.

And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans. - HHGTTG ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
