The cgi-wrapper is invoked by the web server. It checks the callers group and then calls scripts/driver which in turn runs the actual Mailman/Cgi/* script. Normally, exceptions encountered by the admin.py, listinfo.py, etc. script are reported by the driver with a full traceback. It seems in this case the driver script encounters the Operation not permitted exception either before or in the process of trying to print a traceback. See the comments at the beginning of scripts/driver. You can manually run as root or a user in Mailman's group export REQUEST_METHOD=GET python /path/to/scripts/driver listinfo and see what that produces. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
