What I ended up doing was:
foreach list in lists
do
dumpdb $list/config.db | grep admin_password_line | some awk (to rip out the password column) | some sed (to get rid of some funky characters) > $listname_file
done
foreach list in lists
do
config_list -i $listname_file
done
This worked fairly well. 40 or so out of the ~475 at the time didn't take & I had to manually fix the files, or just reset the passwords. It wasn't that hard, and I just did it all from the shell prompt, but I might be able to dig it up if you really need me to.
I am of course, interested in a more *proper* way of doing this.

Is there a way to set a list's password via the command line? �I'd hate to have to manually set each one & send it to the list admin(s).
