That is what I get for answering a question when I should not yet be awake. I belive that page is generated by a cgi script (mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo), which is going to make editing a real problem.

I think not. I believe you are mistaking the meaning of the output from the id command you are running. The group affiliations of the process do not mean that the uid in the output has privileges of those groups. Just try getting the code in the ArchRunner.py to modify a file owned by root with no write privileges for other when mailmanctl has ben started by root to see what I mean. The process will only have the privileges associated with the uid/euid and gid/egid. >a possible (and working) patch is attached. > > >bye > mejo > >ps: since the bug-reporting system at sourceforge doesn't work atm, i >report the bug to the two mailman lists. > >-- >Efficiency and progess is ours one more >Now that we have the Neutron bomb >It's nice and quick and clean and gets things done >Kill kill kill kill kill the poor tonight > > > mailmanctl.patch > > > >*** END PGP VERIFIED MESSAGE *** > >, > <mailto:mailman-users-request@python.org?subject=unsubscribe> >List-Archive: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users> >List-Post: <mailto:mailman-users@python.org> >List-Help: <mailto:mailman-users-request@python.org?subject=help> >List-Subscribe: <http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users>, > <mailto:mailman-users-request@python.org?subject=subscribe> >Sender: mailman-users-bounces+r.barrett=openinfo.co.uk(a)python.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Richard Barrett http://www.openinfo.co.uk

Hi Mailman users! I have a question about Mailman & templates. I have nearly completed editing all the html files provided and placed them into the site wide template directory. All works perfectly!. The problem I am having at the moment is trying to figure out how to edit the main listinfo page mailman.becta.org.uk/mailman/listinfo and the end user subscription page. We would like to make the site as branded as possible (except for admin interface). Does anyone know how to achieve this?
