[Mailman-Users] Password problems with web interface

[Nigel Allen]

Greetings

Fedora Core 3
mailman-2.1.5-26
python-2.3.4-11
httpd-2.0.52-3


After success on a RH9 test box last week, we decided to roll out the
production server. Went through the initial setup fine - a little too
smoothly perhaps :)

Set up the site password
Created the first mailing list "mailman"
Got the notification email.

When I try to login in to the admin address at 
http://www.tld.com/mailman/admin/mailman I get the normal screen but
after the password is input I get the red "Authorization Failed". Have
tried to reset the password and have stopped and started the services
(httpd and mailman) but to no avail.

In what looks like a related incident, I sent a subscribe request to the
list I previously created, got back the confirmation request and clicked
on the URL - then got a red "Bad Confirmation String", yet when I used
the same string in an email confirmation it worked beautifully and
subscribed me.

Okay, the problem is (obviously) related to apache, but where to start
looking?

TIA

Nigel.
