Does someone who knows the story about Mandrake and restricted hardlinks want to stand up and explain it? I spent an hour searching the web yesterday and came up empty. (I don't run Mandrake but I'd like to understand what the issue is.)

Hi,

I'm trying to configure my mailling list through the administrative authentication web page and receive the following error:

Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/share/mailman/scripts/driver", line 96, in run_main main() File "/usr/share/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.py", line 136, in main mlist.Save() File "/usr/share/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 847, in Save self.__save(dict) File "/usr/share/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 822, in __save os.link(fname, fname_last) OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted

The problem is "Operation not permitted" why??

The directory under where mailman is installed is as follow:

drwxrwsr-x 16 root mailman 4096 Aug 30 17:53 . drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Aug 30 17:53 .. drwxrwsr-x 8 root mailman 4096 Aug 30 17:55 Mailman drwxrwsr-x 4 root mailman 4096 Aug 30 17:53 archives drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 4096 Aug 30 17:53 bin drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 4096 Aug 30 17:53 cgi-bin drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 4096 Aug 30 17:54 cron drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 4096 Aug 30 17:54 data drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 4096 Aug 30 17:53 filters drwxrwsr-x 3 root mailman 4096 Aug 30 17:57 lists drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 4096 Aug 31 00:38 locks drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 4096 Aug 30 17:58 logs drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 4096 Aug 30 17:53 mail drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 4096 Aug 30 16:48 qfiles drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 4096 Aug 30 18:00 scripts drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 4096 Aug 30 17:53 templates
