[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Bug#360905: web-frontend: mailman-cgis can not be used with apache-suexec

[Fionn Behrens]

Package: mailman
Severity: important

When installing mailman mit apache and suexec, mailman can not be used:
The Mailman CGIs insist on being group "www-data", otherwise they wont
execute. Unfortunately though, on debian the group "www-data" has gid 33
and suexec forbids execution of CGIs with gid < 50.
Because the group name is (oh silly!) compiled into the CGIs and suexec
has its limits hardcoded too, the user is left with the choice to
recompile either the apache or the mailman package.

tested with 2.1.7-1 from testing...
