furter data on permissions

[Kirk Bailey]

here is the script's web output:

--
TinyList

I am executing as identity "uid=65534(nobody) gid=65534(nobody) groups=65534(nobody)"

Owner [EMAIL PROTECTED]

password=gibbonbreath

listname=testlist3

WORKING...


List found, proceeding...

PASSWORD AND EMAIL MATCH UP. INITIATING DESTRUCTION SEQUENCE...

['./lists/testlist3.farewell', './lists/testlist3.owner', './lists/testlist3.welcome', './lists/testlist3.info', './lists/testlist3.randompreface', './lists/testlist3.preface']

./lists/testlist3.farewell

./lists/testlist3.owner

./lists/testlist3.welcome

./lists/testlist3.info

./lists/testlist3.randompreface

./lists/testlist3.preface

at which point it aborts. These are the indivigual files for a list beign deleted, one at a time.

Here is the weberrorlog:
Traceback (innermost last):
File "/www/www.tinylist.org/cgi-bin/TLlistkill2.py", line 188, in ?
f2 = open('/etc/mail/aliases.new','w') # and a temp file
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/mail/aliases.new'

The aliases file is owned by root. a ls-l quote:
ns# cd /etc/mail/
ns# ls -l aliases
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 7550 Nov 12 01:12 aliases
ns#


I even tried to set it as 5755, still no luck, the thing cannot set a temp file in that directory.

here is the permissions for /mail:
ns# ls -ld mail
drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 1024 Nov 5 02:23 mail
ns#

Any ideas?


end

Respectfully,
Kirk D Bailey
