I am getting errors in my nightly gzip job. Any ideas what is causing it? Check-perms does not find any errors.

Permissions on my those files are: drwxrwsr-x 2 mailman mailman 4096 Feb 18 14:42 2003-February -rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 1484 Feb 18 14:42 2003-February.txt drwxrws--- 2 mailman mailman 4096 Feb 18 14:42 database -rw-rw-rw- 1 apache mailman 1156 Feb 18 14:42 index.html -rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 844 Feb 18 14:42 pipermail.pck

Just out of curiosity, what are the perms on the directory where mailman is trying to create the file (/usr/local/mailman/archives/private/cs223)?

If that looks good, what are the perms of the directories back up the tree?

Wisdom has two parts: (1) having a lot to say and (2) not saying it.
