hi Marting,

when you say files are missing, do you mean from the web interface or in the
actual directory list.  it worked pretty much straight out of the box on
potato for me.  Below are the only apache(ssl) edits we needed to make:

    ### in srm.conf, added
    Alias /pipermail/ /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/

    Alias /mailman/private/ /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/


    ### in access.conf, added (instead of having users type out full path)
    # Redirect main (plaintext) page to plaintext mailman site
    RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ https://mailman.epic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/

/usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman is a softlink to /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin (yeah
sounds confusing but it makes sense if you think about it :-D) and that
directory has the following files in it:
    donfede at mailman:/etc/apache-ssl$ ls -l /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/
    total 80
    -rwxr-sr-x    1 root     list         5332 May 29  2000 admin
    -rwxr-sr-x    1 root     list         5336 May 29  2000 admindb

    -rwxr-sr-x    1 root     list         5336 May 29  2000 private
