[Mailman-Users] turn on tracing?

[Richard Shetron]

How do I find out what uid:gid the programs are running with?
Would I be better downloading a fresh copy of mailman and doing a 
reinstall over the broken copy?  The initial version was installed back 
in ubuntu 8.04 days when mailman wasn't a ubuntu package.  Since then 
for Ubuntu they changed some of the default groups for things, like 
mailing lists.
