[Mailman-Users] error during admin auth

[Gerhard Mourani]

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 ..
