[Mailman-Users] setting up Mailman

[Jon Carnes]

Could it be what the error says it is: a permissions problem?

Have you run the ~mailman/bin/check_perms program from Mailman? In
particular you need to look at the owner/group for the ~mailman/locks
directory and its rights mask.

I suspect that you may have more problems than just that. You might want
to search the archives and use the keyword "Debian". They do things
quite different from the recommend, so the apt get install on Debian is
almost as screwy as the RPM installs on other distro's.
