Cheers, yes source gone, only an old /usr/local/mailman (2.1.5) off tape to compare

I guess some bit of my setup is bust as postalias is supposed to make those 
files, and my old setup which worked looked like

drwxrwsr-x   2 9026     2005         439 Apr 13 18:14 .
drwxrwsr-x  20 root     2005         853 Apr 13 16:37 ..
-rw-r-----   1 9026     2005          41 Apr 12 23:09 adm.pw
-rw-rw----   1 9026     2005        1973 Apr 13 18:14 aliases
-rw-r-----   1 9026     2005       24576 Apr 13 18:14 aliases.db
-rw-r--r--   1 9026     2005          10 Apr 12 21:28 last_mailman_version
-rw-rw----   1 9026     2005           6 Apr 12 22:48 master-qrunner.pid
-rw-r--r--   1 9026     2005       14110 Apr 12 21:21 sitelist.cfg
-rw-rw----   1 9026     2005        1209 Apr 13 18:14 virtual-mailman
-rw-r--r--   1 9026     2005       24576 Apr 13 18:14 virtual-mailman.db

mailman:mailman BTW

I actually found cgi-gid by tracing the build process and then observing the 
output of `strings create`

apache2 shows up in my old version and I also see no trace of postfix, (or in 
any other bins in bin)

so my config process is same as 2.1.5 but something is not quite right still...

Cheers

Rob
