[Mailman-Users] problem creating aliases.db

[dylan lim]

Hi all,

I am encountering a weird problem when I run

postalias /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases

A aliases.db file should have been created in
/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases but instead I obtain this from my maillog:

Jan  6 08:53:18 localhost postfix/postalias[23346]: fatal: open database
/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases.db: Permission denied

I have ran check_perms -f
and my directory permissions for /usr/local/mailman/data looks like this:

total 104
drwxrwsr-x   2 root    mailman  4096 Jan  6 08:51 .
drwxrwsr-x  20 root    mailman  4096 Jan  4 18:09 ..

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have been looking for an
answer for this for sometime. Thank you for your help.
