[Mailman-Users] Error:FW: Cron <mailman at web1> /usr/bin/python2 -S/usr/local/mailman/cron/disabled

[Lucas Albers]

Thanks for the information on the permissions in your lists directories.

I have made the following changes to the permissions on my lists files.
I now have the following permissions:
/usr/local/mailman/lists/*/config.pck
-rwxrwxr-x    1 apache   mailman

/usr/local/mailman/lists/*/config.pck.last
-rw-rw----    1 apache   mailman

/usr/local/mailman/lists/*/digest.mbox
-rw-rw----    1 mailman  mailman

/usr/local/mailman/lists/*/request.db
-rw-rw-r--    1 mailman  mailman

Permissions on the lists directory are:
/usr/local/mailman/lists/*
drwxrwsr-x    2 mailman  mailman



check_perm does not fix bad permissions on files in the lists directory.
I had to manually set these permissions.  When the cron jobs complete, I
will be able to tell if I have the correct permissions.
Check perms should check these permission on these directories and files,
and set them to the correct permissions.
