[Mailman-Users] Access problem..

[Anders Norrbring]

Richard,
Thanks.. :)  A -f fixed quite some errors, but still I get this in e-mail
from the server:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 274, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 249, in main
    lock.lock(timeout=0.5)
  File "/var/tmp/mailman-2.1.1-build/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py",
line 238, in lock
  File "/var/tmp/mailman-2.1.1-build/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py",
line 415, in __write
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
'/var/lib/mailman/locks/gate_news.lock.berit.20898.0'


Still there's no directory in /var/tmp
