Actually, I gave you the wrong advice. The ln command should have been ln config.pck config.pck.last If that works, instead of trying this via the ln command, you could try it in a python process. Again as user mailman in mailman's home directory do bin/withlist -i This will respond with a few lines followed by a >>> prompt. At the prompts enter import os os.unlink('lists/services-officialunix.com/config.pck.last') (ignore any non-existant file exception) os.link('lists/services-officialunix.com/config.pck', 'lists/services-officialunix.com/config.pck.last') You can enter that all on one line, or you can enter os.link('lists/services-officialunix.com/config.pck', which will result in a ... prompt to which you enter 'lists/services-officialunix.com/config.pck.last') If that works, the question is why can you do it as mailman, but the qrunners can't? Did you start Mailman by running bin/mailmanctl start as root? If not, stop Mailman and then start is as root. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
