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

It is MSEC... and I've gone in and modified the perm files
(/usr/share/msec/perm.[0-5]) to add lines for the /var/lib/mailman/logs
directory and files as well as the /var/log/mailman directory and its
files... still some strangeness at times so I'm leaving the every minute
cron jobs in as well to override the file perms directly... not pretty
but it is working.

What level is your MSec set to? It could definitely be doing this.
