[Mailman-Users] Cannot create public archive links

After an ordeal reinstalling Python mailman has not listed any new 
archives. I traced it down to the fact that the links to 
mailman/archived/private do not exist in the public directory. So I went 
in and toggled that option in the admin area. The links do not get 
created and I get this error: (running: Mailman 1.0 python 1.5.2 on Sun 
Solaris 7)

Traceback (innermost last):
   File "/usr/local/mailman/scripts/driver", line 112, in run_main
     main()
   File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.py", line 167, in main
     ChangeOptions(lst, category, cgi_data, doc)
   File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.py", line 885, in

     breaklink(pubdir)
   File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 56, in

     reraise()
   File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 52, in 
breaklink
     os.unlink(link)
OSError: [Errno 1] Not owner: '/usr/local/mailman/archives/public/anyone'



Anyone know who should own the anyone directory and it's contents?

I tried root daemon and mailman. Keeping the group as mailman.



Response appreciated
