Hi all!

I tried to install mailman-2.0beta5 under SuSE Linux 6.3.
The Mail-wrapper runs without any problems if the config.db file of a
list has owner mailman:mailman:

-rw-rw----   1 mailman  mailman      3154 Sep  4 18:08 config.db

But using the WWW admin Configuration I get the following errors:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/home/mailman/scripts/driver", line 96, in run_main
    main()
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.py", line 136, in main
    mlist.Save()
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 847, in Save
    self.__save(dict)
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 822, in __save
    os.link(fname, fname_last)
OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted

I get the following files:
mailman at glockner:~/lists/test > ll config.db*
-rw-rw-rw-   1 mailman  mailman      3154 Sep  4 18:11 config.db
-rw-rw----   1 wwwrun   mailman      3154 Sep  4 18:14 config.db.tmp.16340

mailman at glockner:~/locks > ll
-rw-rw-r--   2 wwwrun   mailman        44 Sep  4  2000 test.lock
-rw-rw-r--   2 wwwrun   mailman        44 Sep  4  2000 test.lock.glockner.16340


WWW access is OK if I set ownership to wwwrun:mailman
-rw-rw----   1 wwwrun   mailman      3154 Sep  4 18:11 config.db

But with these settings qrunner etc. fails.
One neads owner mailman, the other wwwrun ?!

Any ideas??

Regards,

Volker
