** On May 25, Joey Hess scribbled: > - Mailman 2.0beta1 has some sort of "Security patch when using > external archivers". Information on this one is scarce. Also mailman has a problem with symlinks when running on a kernel with the Solar Designer's openwall security patch. Namely, mailman creates temporary files when moving them around using hardlinks. In general, it does the hardlinks in the same directory where the file sits and if the directory has the t bit set, openwall patch forbids mailman to create the hardlink. Same goes when /tmp is used for hardlinking. It's a totally flawed way of moving files around, but inspite a discussion on that topic somewhere last year, nobody changed it - for me, personally, mailman became unusable. marek
