can someone explain this to me: the /var/log/mailman/error logfile has permissions -rw-rw-r-- root list
mailman's cron jobs run as list, mailman's web interface as www-data. i tried changing the permissions to -rw-rw-r-- list adm but now I am getting permission denied errors when trying to use the website -- mailman cannot open the logfile. all the cron stuff (i.e. mailman core functionality) still works. so i am wondering: www-data doesn't have any more rights with the original permission settings than it does with the new settings. moreover, www-data is not included in either of these permissions, so it's always 'others'. what difference do the permissions make, then? -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; net@madduck NOTE: The pgp.net keyservers and their mirrors are broken!
