[Mailman-Users] problems installing mailman

[Mario Diaz]

Hi ,
I'm trying to install mailman in an SGI running IRIX 6.5 with sendmail and
python 2.0.
Configuring and installing seems to go without problems.
I check permissions runnning bin/chech_perms in /home/mailman and no errors are
reported.
I Start cron and then create a test list and keep getting error reports from
cron sent to my email address.
I change the configuration to include several reasonable gids (i.e. the first
time I installed I had SYSLOG reports regarding gid
and use them to change it with a new installation). But I keep getting similar
cron errors (the only difference is that now there no
error
reports in SYSLOG).
Checking the logs/error file in mailman this is what I have:

Apr 11 18:55:08 2001 gate_news(76900): Traceback (most recent call last):

Apr 11 18:55:08 2001 gate_news(76900): IOError :  [Errno 13] Permission denied:
