Re: Set up on RH Linux ES4

Sorry, Last message posted on this thread was erroneous. I meant it to be a new

subject.

Regarding your permissions, I've run MD on both Red Had and SLES.

This really does look like a permissions issue.
Are the permissions on your list directly such that user:mail can read?

drwxr-x    mail:mail  lists

or
drwsr-s    mail:mail lists

Then all the files in the lists directory are:
-rw-r

And all the dirs under lists are:
drwxrwx---
or 
drwxr-s--- 


I'm thinking MD is saying that you need to remove the world write attributes 
on the lists/test directory.

I am trying to set up MD on a RedHat Linux, ES 4 server. I have
root/admin privileges as I am root.
Trying to set up MD normally, I have many errors referring to "Cannot
open /usr/lib/majordomo/lists/test: World writable directory"
I have tried different permissions, different users all to no avail.
 
Sendmail is running as user mail and group wheel (8.10)
I have had MD running on other systems with no problems in the past. But
with ES4 I'm having major issues.
Hope someone can help with this.
TIA
