[Mailman-Users] Missing Files config.db/config.db.last

[Michael Jung]

RE: mailman-2.1.9_5  

I have a list "crew" that is running and functional from the standpoint
the list is working.  It has a very static list of users that seldom
changes.

Today it was brought to my attention that the web interface was not
working.  

Upon finding tracebacks in the mailman/logs/error file I decided to run
check_db which reports two missing files for each list. I have no clue
how these got deleted.  

I've started going back through old backup tapes but apparently these
have been missing for some extended period of time.  Is there an easy
way to reconstruct these without nuking my list (which has been running
for some 10 years now) - I don't want to loose history.

Thanks in advance.
