[Mailman-Users] File Permissions on /var/lib/mailman/logs files... (FIXED)

[Mike Burkett]

So I finally figured out how you customize MSEC... thanks to Jon's link
below...

Specifically for making Mandrake 9.2 happy with MAILMAN I created the
file /etc/security/msec/perm.local containing the following lines:

/var/lib/mailman/logs                           mail.mail
2775
/var/lib/mailman/logs/*                         mail.mail
2775
/var/log/mailman                                mail.mail
2775
/var/log/mailman/*                              mail.mail
2775
/var/log/mailman/*/*                            mail.mail
2775

Hope this helps someone else... it is much cleaner than my "every minute
cron" patch. :)

It is MSEC... and I've gone in and modified the perm files
(/usr/share/msec/perm.[0-5]) to add lines for the /var/lib/mailman/logs
directory and files as well as the /var/log/mailman directory and its
files... still some strangeness at times so I'm leaving the every minute
cron jobs in as well to override the file perms directly... not pretty
but it is working.

What level is your MSec set to? It could definitely be doing this.
