[Mailman-Users] Problem with Ownership of config.db file

[Dean Richard Benson]

Hi all.

I am running mailman v 2.0.3.

I have followed the instructions, but have somewhat of a worrying problem
with the program.  The config.db and config.db last file keep switching
their ownership to "nobody" which apache runs as.  This causes an error
in the log file, and mailman wont work until i reset it back. (outputs
all shown below.  When I change it back, within minutes its back to
nobody.mailman

Does anyone know what could be wrong here?

Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Dean
