Interesting, because I remember using UID and GID's that were in the 1000+
range for the chroot (but that was six months ago so I could just be
hallucinating)

The web-pages are generated via the GGI's, but you can check them out
simply:
 - Chroot yourself
 - su as the local chrooted user that runs the webserver (generally the
admin of the chroot)
 - run the admin cgi from the command line:  ~mailman/cgi-gin/admin

This should dump out the source of a web-page to the command line (like when
you look at a web-page and click on "View Source".  It's a simple check.  If
that works then your Mailman install is working fine and the problems must
be in the Chroot web-server setup.

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
