Yes, only the alias entry. I believe Scott, in his infinite wisdom and patience, is looking into it now.
I will keep you all posted.

Scott, of pobox.com, had the solution to the archive access issue.
In the Apache srm.conf file, I needed to have the following:
<Directory /home/mailman/archives/public> Options FollowSymLinks order allow,deny allow from all </Directory>
After adding that, and restarting httpd, it now works.
Now if only we could restrict access to private archives to members of the list, using the email address as a login, and the list password as the access password to see the archives...
Thanks for everybody's input.

the extra little "order allow,deny...allow from all" is necessary if their are auth restrictions in a higher level directory preventing access access to the public.
Maybe this should go in the docs somewhere.

do you mean the list admin password, or creating a separate listwide password that will work for everybody for everything except admin stuff?
