[Mailman-Developers] Potential shortcoming in check_perms

[Bill Moran]

I'm new to this list.

I recently ran into some problems upgrading mailman 2.1.3 to 2.1.4.

In the end, it turned out that check_perms thought everything was OK,
but it really was a permission problem.  The reason check_perms didn't
detect it is the problem was with file ownership (something in the
FreeBSD port appears to have changed the default user/group for
mailman, but that's a seperate issue ...)

So, I was wondering what people thought about updating the check_perms
script to check file ownerships as well.  Is is possible?  It sure
seems like it would be helpful!
