gcc 3.2.2
Python 2.3
Solaris 2.8

Two problems have come up in the past two days:
1. Non-critical. When a confirmation message arrives, there is a spurious
colon on the end of the mailto:...... link.

2. Critical. Since rebooting a couple days ago, mailman can no longer write in
the subdirectories of qfiles/ despite both owner and group being mailman.
Another oddity is that the lock files in locks/ are being created with a date
24 hours in the future no matter what the system clock says.

Any pointers on either problem appreciated.

    :: 2. Critical. Since rebooting a couple days ago, mailman can no longer write
    :: in the subdirectories of qfiles/ despite both owner and group being mailman.

    Is the qrunner process running with the right UID/GID? I'd check your
    startup script.

    :: Another oddity is that the lock files in locks/ are being created with a

    Is NFS involved?

    It is running with UID/GID both set to mailman.

    No. Everything is local to this machine except for NIS info.
