Howdy. I am currently trying to integrate a separate CGI system with Mailman and part of my goal is to be able to show what Mailman lists a user is subscribed to. "find_member" would be perfect except that it will only function properly when run as root or mailman (adding the sticky bit does not seem to help, at least under FreeBSD). The script fails when trying to read in the pickled list details due to permissions issues (obviously it is running without the needed group permissions) and I have as of yet not been able to make it run as needed. I am trying to avoid having to dump the entire address database to parse separately as a workaround.

I thought that the CGI wrapper might be the solution but not being a C guru I am a bit confused what the wrapper actually does (I am not clear where the scriptname value is being looked for since it is not looking for them in "/bin").

So basically, I am looking for suggestions on how to either make "find_member" a bit more lenient on who can run it or how to invoke an equivalent to find_member via the CGI wrapper.

Thanks for any suggestions (besides those on flying kites and learning about where the sun shines).
