Stopping Mailman and running $prefix/bin/check_perms with -f option should 
fix permissions problems and should be preferable to hacking at them one at 
a time..

Use $prefix/bin/arch to rebuild list archives and regenerate HTML archive 
pages from the mbox . Run it with the --help option to get its usage.
