Re: Mailman and obhttpd

Not an expert on the openbsd https but from what I recall Your root should
look more like root { “/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin“, strip 1 } — your
current configuration is telling it to exec the directory, which obviously
won’t work. … the latter tells it to take the URI and strip one component
off to complete the filesystem part to the CGI…
