Yeah, but it work.  I may upgrade to 2.1.18 or 2.1.20 -- I have the SRPMs from 
Fedora 21 and I'll bring them home tonight...

OK, I discovered it was a file permission issue I chowned the /var/log/mailman 
dir to apache:mailman.  I did the same for /var/lib/mailman as well.

Now the http://mailman2.deepsoft.com/mailman/listinfo 'works', but does not 
list any lists -- they are there and if the lists are manually entered you can 
visit them -- it is *acting* like none of the lists are 'advertized'.
