[Mailman-Users] HELP! Errors in cron.

[Amanda Shuler]

I think these errors are related to why my mailman won't send or receive
files.
Does anyone out there know what this means?

I got the following mailed to me from cron, after it tried to do an update
job
thingy.
Obviously, I must have some permissions wrong somewhere.
But which files do I need to change the permissions to?

-------------------

I'm just terrible at reading this stuff.
Can anyone else make sense of this?


Here is "ls -l /usr/lib/python1.5/posixfile.py":

-rw-r--r--   1 root     root         7331 Nov  2 13:32
/usr/lib/python1.5/posixfile.py


So what's wrong?  :(
