OK, but just to be clear, those wrappers (default location is /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin) need to be accessible by the webserver. So, is it safe to assume that only cgi-bin needs world read/executable permissions? Can I "chmod -R o=" everything in /usr/local/mailman/ except cgi-bin/ and mail/? -Jim P. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
