'admin lists are out of sync' -- check the cobalt-users archives, we've
hashed that over a few hundred times there I think.  Basically either
edit your /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/auto/Cobalt/Vhost/vsite_admin_list.al
file.  Otherwise, check that the groups are synced.

On the RaQ:  Groups are kept in the aliases file.  Check /etc/aliases
for an alias of the same name of the group (Lovely tool for spammers)
that lists each userid of the groups members -- also look for 
<site>-admin: alias, this lists the userids of all admins for a
particular site.  Double check all these lists against the Site-adm
alias, the usernames should be listed in the Site-adm alias once and
only once.  You might want to follow up by editing /etc/htgroups and
/etc/groups -- but the complaint is checking only the aliases file.

On the RaQ2:  Similiar, but groups are handled by the /etc/groups file
and the groups are labeled 'siteX' where X is the number of the virtual
site.  Also, these groups only contain a comma separated list of group
administrators.  Make sure each userid that appears in the groups below
appears once and only once in the site-adm group.

I don't have a RaQ3 to tell you about the distribution there.
