Re-run as list (or root) with -f flag to fix
after several iterations I still don't see what to do. Doesn't seem to
be really fixing anything. Also what list??
I'm guessing that this is a Debian/Ubuntu package. If you look you'ss
find all those paths are in fact symlinks to other directories and the
group and permissions on the actual directory are fine. check_perms
can't actually change the symlink group and it's not relevant anyway.
the 'list' in 'Re-run as list (or root) with -f flag to fix' refers to
the user 'list' which is the Debian/Ubuntu Mailman user, not to a
Mailman list.
In any case, do you have a problem other than the spurious report from
check_perms?
yes. I made a new empty list and added myself to it and then got this
message (as usual):
The web page for users of your mailing list is:
http://choked.ca/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/davedave
Clicking on the link gives first the info page and clicking on its
archive link gives:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /pipermail/davedave/ on this server.
And that's the issue I was hoping to address by the permissions fix.
