[Mailman-Users] argh!! more problems

[Tib]

I'm afraid it doesn't - here's an example:

[root at unica mailman]# ls -lR lists/|grep config.db
-rw-rw----    1 nobody   mail         9759 May  9 14:14 config.db
-rw-rw----    1 nobody   mail         9759 May  9 14:14 config.db.last
-rw-rw----    1 mailman  mail        16876 May  9 15:27 config.db
-rw-rw----    1 mailman  mail        16876 May  9 15:26 config.db.last
-rw-rw----    1 mailman  mail         2865 May  3 04:03 config.db
-rw-rw----    1 mailman  mail         2865 May  3 04:03 config.db.last
-rw-rw----    1 mailman  mail         3775 May  9 12:00 config.db
-rw-rw----    1 mailman  mail         3775 May  8 17:00 config.db.last
-rw-rw----    1 mailman  mail         5123 May  9 14:08 config.db
-rw-rw----    1 mailman  mail         5123 May  9 14:08 config.db.last
-rw-rw----    1 mailman  mail         3149 May  9 12:00 config.db
-rw-rw----    1 mailman  mail         3149 May  8 17:00 config.db.last
[root at unica mailman]# ./bin/check_perms
/home/mailman/archives/private/notopic/index.html bad gid (has: mailman,
expected mail)
/home/mailman/archives/private/distrib/index.html bad gid (has: mailman,
expected mail)
Problems found: 2

It sounds as though the check_perms script would have found all of these in
error.. ?
