permissions problem in Debian
Hiya,
I have installed mailman-2.0.13 for a friend in Debian Linux and it's giving me this error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/mailman/cron/qrunner", line 276, in ? lock.lock(timeout=0.5) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 219, in lock self.__write() File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 350, in __write fp = open(self.__tmpfname, 'w') IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/lib/mailman/locks/qrunner.lock.fish.17284
I have searched the archives and found suggested solutions, but they seem not to work for me.
I have done chmod g+w $prefix/locks - no solution I have now done chmod 1777 locks which seems to have at leasted paused the numerous error mails which were going to mailman-owner.
I believe this is not cool. I am a FreeBSD user.
Can Debian users advise.
Mailman is running as mailman:mailman, not list. I have reconfigured a few things.
Thanks in advance
cheers

this is why.
you should try find / -group list -exec chgrp mailman '{}' \; but be aware that any apt-get upgrade that upgrades mailman will break it again.

Ok. So on Debian, what are the following values?
mailman userid mailman groupid
The answer to those 2 Qs will help me fix the stuff at compile time.
