Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman Bug?/no Admin level web access

2005-05-18 Thread ewstahl
This AM I turned off SELinux and the firewall entirely. I then ran 
check_perms, and there were 4 errors, all but 1 with the cgi scripts. 
Apparently the whole cgi-bin folder had a group mismatch (something I 
did "to fix things" before I realized most of them actually worked and 
I forgot to change one back), the only list I had set up had a language 
error (something to do with EN?) and the admin and admindb scripts had 
a set-gid error, which mailman fixed and it now works. :-) SO, I guess 
you were correct that SELinux was somehow causing my troubles. 
Unfortunately, I didn't save a copy of the repairs from the terminal 
window when I was logged in as root and the error log still is blank. 
I'm having a hard time believing that the scripts were not set when I 
installed since I used the --with-cgi-gid option to configure, 
reconfigured/reinstalled when I found things were not working 
correctly, and the other 16 scripts were set properly and working. 
Perhaps SELinux needs to be turned off preinstall as a general rule? I 
tried checking in /var/logs/mail, /var/logs/maillog, and 
/var/spool/mail -there was no listing of errors in any logs. Mr. 
Dennis, if you want to discuss why I prefer not to use the RPM version 
of mailman, email me off list.

I'm afraid I don't understand. What "others" and what do you mean the
new log file is octet stream?

Please turn ALL of SELinux off. There are many parts of the security
policy that might come into play, not just httpd. For instance mailman
has its own security policy that is mated to the red hat mailman rpm's,
which you're not using, there is a tremendous opportunity here for
problems due to the mismatch. Let's try to eliminate SELinux as a factor
altogether.

Mailman created a new file, but the others show as plain text and the new one 
as octet stream. I tried accessing the admin scripts to see if anything was 
written to the new log, and nothing was. I also tried making it into a text 
document, so now there are 2 error files- one text and one octet stream. Before

I'm at accept all on ports/firewall, with SELinux enabled and enforcing but

How did this file get created? Did Mailman create it? If so, then the
question is "why can Mailman create this file but not be allowed to
write to it?". Would SELinux be the answer? Have you tried testing

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman Bug?/no Admin level web access

2005-05-17 Thread ewstahl
I''m guessing you mean permissions. I installed it exactly the same way 
as I had in the previous install, with cgi-gid under apache- which is 
the same as httpd. I have the SELinux disabled for httpd. None of this 
would explain why the rest of the scripts work except for admin and 
admindb. They did work in version 2.1.5, but not in the current version 
I have (2.1.6rc3). As I already stated, nothing is showing up in any 
logs for those scripts except in the apache log and I posted that 
yesterday. I trashed the old mailman error log. I now have a new 0k 
file called error. I can send invites, etc using mailman so I know it's 
working as expected.

How did you reinstall? This is important to determine if the security
labels were applied.

SELinux's control of smtpd is not relevant, its the httpd (e.g. apache)
policy that probably affecting you. (I assume when you say the admin
interface is not working you mean web access to it).

Did you look for avc messages in /var/log/messages?
Did you look at /var/log/audit/audit.log? (may not be present)

May 10th was the day I put in the new hard drive after the old one 
died. So basically I did a clean install.  I had set up the domain/host 
stuff on the old drive so all I did was reinstall. I only have one 
domain/host name, and SELinux is on, but not on the snmpd daemon. My 
firewall is technically on, but since I'm trying to debug, it's set to 
allow everything. The admin interface never worked since May 10th. It 
did work on the old drive, but I had the last build of mailman then.  
There was nothing in /var/log/messages except the usual service starts 
and stops.

Are you running with SELinux enabled?  (Are there additional clues
about the permission failures in /var/log/messages?  If you start
with SELinux disabled, is Mailman happy?)

Not sure what your environment is, but I've seen that message in a
multi-domain cPanel environment, where you can set up a domain before
it's actually living on that host (preparing to move in). You can get 
as
far as creating a list, but when you go to access the admin pages, it
fails with that message. As soon as the domain actually resolves to 
that
host, the problem goes away.

This may be true, but the server mail doesn't get checked nearly as often as 
the AOL account, and the server runs from a REALLY filtered server. I've 
noticed AOL labelling my digests as bulk mail, but I've still gotten them, 
while 
the mail from the server I created goes into my bulk folder. In response to the

genaliases, check_db and anything else I thought might provide a clue. All 
checked 
out ok. I did see the other thread. He trashed his log file and that restarted 
logging so I'll do that. We both have exactly the same issue, new install 
where those cgi scripts never ran from day one- and even the same errors 
showing 
up in logs. I'm no programmer, but is there something different in the admin 
and admindb cgi scripts?

Well, that doesn't work. My reply to you was bounced by AOL because

EXPLANATION:

There is at least one URL in your email that is generating
substantial complaints from AOL members.

Since the only URL in my message to you was a pointer to another thread
in the lists archives, I suppose I can only hint at it. Go to the
archives for the mailman-users list by constructing a URL with host
name mail.python.org and the remainder =
/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-May/044739.html.

There you'll find my previous reply with another archive pointer. Also
see Jim Tittsler's response in this thread.

Did you run bin/check_perms?  The logs directory and the files
within it should be group writable (and owned by the group that
you specified as with-mail-gid when you built Mailman).

It looks like Mailman is unable to write to your logs (which
explains why they haven't changed since May 10th).
