The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

Answering my own question... Switching to the systemd socket method has solved the problem.

I had been using the old deprecated setuid wrapper method.  Not sure what changed in the OS between Fedora 39 and Fedora 40, but the lock was failing with the error "read-only filesystem".

Longtime sympa admin for small hobbyist lists.  Upgraded underlying OS to Fedora 40 today, and now getting tons of these errors in the log:

I tried upgrading sympa itself to the latest version, which was successful, but am still getting the errors.

Thanks for any insight,
