I am following up my own post. I found the following patch that was submitted last April which looks like it will do most of what I want. ---------- "[ 892118 ] limit admin privs on user options page" http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=892118&group_id=103&atid=300103 ---------- Has anyone here had experience running this patch, or has anyone else ever wanted to do what I'm doing? I am guessing my installation and level of trust of the list admins must be quite different than most other Mailman sites. :-) -Dave ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
