[Bug 543148] Re: Private Archive Permissions Are Incorrect

I can also confirm the problem on Ubuntu 10.04, where the archives
directories are owned by root and so mailman can not write to them.

$ ls -al /var/lib/mailman/archives/
total 16
drwxrwsr-x 4 root list     4096 2011-04-01 16:58 .
drwxrwsr-x 8 root list     4096 2011-04-01 16:58 ..
drwxrws--- 2 root www-data 4096 2011-02-17 15:31 private
drwxrwsr-x 2 root list     4096 2011-02-17 15:31 public

Running 'sudo /usr/lib/mailman/bin/check_perms -f' fixes the permissions
by changing them to list:list, but this needs to be done after each new
mailing lists is created.
