WDOT? check_perms DOES follow symlinks. The issue is Debian patch <https://sources.debian.net/patches/mailman/1:2.1.23-1/52_check_perms_lstat.patch/> which makes check_perms check the group of the symlink instead of the target. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
