Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a question in relation to the discussion following <a href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-mailman-hackers/2012-July/004080.html">http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-mailman-hackers/2012-July/004080.html</a>:<br />
<br />
In a fresh mailman install:<br />
Debian Squeeze 6.0.5<br />
Mailman 2.1.13<br />
<br />
after solving all the check_perms errors:<br />
# check_perms -f<br />
# chgrp -h list /var/lib/mailman/*<br />
<br />
I find that I can also solve the problem by<br />
# chown www-data /var/lib/mailman/archives/private<br />
<br />
In this way check_perms does not complain (apparently it only checks for group ownership), both list and www-data can read and write happily in the directory, and list and www-data can not access any other files from each other.<br />
<br />
However, this solution has not been mentioned before... Is there a caveat?<br />
<br />
Kind regards,<br />
Lucas</p>
