No. I meant exactly what I wrote.

See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/tYA9> and the installation
manual at <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node9.html> for further
information.

If you don't have a 'list' group, how come it is the group of

/var/lib/mailman, /var/lib/mailman/archives and
/var/lib/mailman/archives/public?

If you don't have a 'www-data' user, then that should be whatever the
user is that your web server runs Mailman's CGIs as.
