If check_perms is reporting problems you've got problems you need to
fix. By default check_perms only reports problems, it does not fix them,
to fix them you need to supply the -f argument.

If your cgi wrappers are not group mailman then its setgid property is
not going to work the way you expect. For instance if its group "list"
then its going to execute as group "list" and the fact the files it
references are -rw-rw---- mailman:mailman won't help because they are
not in the group "list". Make sense?
