Potato is running here. After trying to subscribe a new user to a list, majordomo told me ------------------------------------ MAJORDOMO ABORT (mj_majordomo)!! shlock: '.' is not writable by UID 30 GID 31 -------------------------------------- and of course, the user was not subscribed. ...anyone have an answer to this one? The permissions do not seem to be syncing with the documentation for majordomo here. Art
