[Mailman-Users] permission problems

[Lic. Martin Marques]

I started having permission problems with mailman just now. All messages 
sent to the lists get shunt, and when I try to unshunt them I get these 
errors in mailman/error log:

Dec 28 21:05:41 2005 (23314) Archive file access failure:
         /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/depto.mbox/depto.mbox [Errno 13] 
Permission
denied: '/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/depto.mbox/depto.mbox'
Dec 28 21:05:41 2005 (23314) Uncaught runner exception: [Errno 13] 
Permission denied:
'/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/depto.mbox/depto.mbox'
Dec 28 21:05:41 2005 (23314) Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 111, in _oneloop
     self._onefile(msg, msgdata)
   File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 167, in _onefile
     keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata)
   File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/ArchRunner.py", line 73, in 
_dispose
     mlist.ArchiveMail(msg)
   File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 199, in 
ArchiveMail
     self.__archive_to_mbox(msg)
   File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 168, in 
__archive_to_mbox
     mbox = self.__archive_file(afn)
   File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 156, in 
__archive_file
     return Mailbox.Mailbox(open(afn, 'a+'))
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
'/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/depto.mbox/depto.mbox'


Now permissions look OK, and check_perms finishes with everything OK:

[root at newweb mailman]# ./bin/check_perms
No se han encontrado problemas
[root at newweb mailman]# ls -ld 
/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/depto.mbox/
drwxrwsr-x  2 root mailman 4096 ene  7  2005
/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/depto.mbox/

What is wrong, and why did it work OK until now?

I'm using FC4 with mailman 2.1.5.
