I've installed mailman from both the current ports and packages and noted a common problem. It seems that after a clean install, sometime later, permissions are getting changed on its directory tree. In going through the various /etc/periodic entries, I don't see where this is getting done. There is some very brief discussion of this in the mailman docs, but I'm still slightly confused. So..., I guess the question is, how to do I install mailman such that check_perms does not grumble about things like this: directory permissions must be 02775: /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/testing.mbox directory permissions must be 02775: /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/testing directory permissions must be 02775: /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/testing/2007-August directory permissions must be 02775: /usr/local/mailman/lists/testing Problems found: 4 Re-run as mailman (or root) with -f flag to fix Do I need to install mailman with some special flag set or is there a way to keep whatever is doing this from clobbering the permissions? FWIW, I am running sendmail with MailScanner/clamav/spamassassin. There are thus three running instances: root 1066 0.0 0.1 4492 2588 ??
