As Steve pointed a lot of things might be out of scope for your project but it would be nice if you could discuss about the complete working of it and at-least document it so that if not you, someone else can leverage this discussion and help improve your project after you are done with it. There is usually never a physical access to a server so that is out of question but still applications do exist with user roles, don't they? Even in mysql you have users. What if on a host I run mailman as 'maxking' and on the same host 'rajeev' and 'steve' are two other users whom I have granted owner roles(as an admin) to two different lists do whatever the CLI will do. Who said only one person can have access to a host? _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
