Hi,

again me:  I get errors and errors from the cron. This time anotherone. I
guess some permissions are wrong. Can anyone tell me who should own the
/var/spool/mailman and the /usr/lib/mailman (where I installed mailman)?
And to which group they should be set ?  Beside that (or maybe because of
that) the maildelivery is not working at all.

This is the errormessage from the cron:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 222, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 203, in main
    process_lists(lock)
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 140, in process_lists
    mlist = MailList.MailList(listname, lock=0)
  File "/var/tmp/mailman-root//usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line
79,
in __init__
  File "/var/tmp/mailman-root//usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line
891,
in Load
  File "/var/tmp/mailman-root//usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line
868,
in __load
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
'/var/spool/mailman/lists/ntest/config.db'

Thank you.

        Nora
