[Mailman-Users] File Permissions on /var/lib/mailman/logs files...

[Mike Burkett]

I've just upgraded to V2.1.4 and am having some problems with file
permissions on the /var/lib/mailman/logs files.

 

Something keeps resetting the permissions to 0600 and then the web
interface dies with the info below.

 

I have a temporary workaround by adding a cron job to reset the perms to
02775 and the owner to mail.mail every 1 minute... but really would like
a cleaner solution.

 

Any suggestions? I did try to find this in the FAQs but was
unsuccessful...
