yeah seems to be to do with creating locks....

the lock dir doesn't seem to have "list" write permissions
but increasing that doesn't seem to have helped.

And maybe I'm missing something but:
I run "newlist" but it doesn't tell me what aliases to add to
/etc/aliases (like the doco says it should) and nor does
emailing newlist@<mydomain> work.  It feels like there's a
step missing.....
