[IMC-Tech] Re: [CU-Wireless-Staff] mailman links are all broken:

[Sascha Meinrath]

I suspect that someone must have chmod-ed the wrong file somewhere and that is 
the root cause of the problem.  Is there a log file somewhere of the changes 
being made on our central servers?  If not, is there a way to maintain one?  I 
feel like we've seen a number of small mistakes that would have been caught if 
we had more eyes on things as they're being done.  Call me crazy, but maybe a 
rooters e-mail list or something?  Just a thought -- meanwhile, I'm thinking 
that checking the permissions on the relevant directories might identify the 
problem.
