Interesting: My $prefix is /usr/lib/mailman. However, there is a /var/lib/mailman as that's where archives is. It's owned and grouped properly, and it does have the 1-bit set in the 'other' portion of its permissions mask. I can definitely fix that. But why does this all appear in /var/lib/mailman and not /usr/lib/mailman? ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://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: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
