Disable in what sense? In the sense of allowing anyone to change a user's options or visit private archives without any form of authentication, or with some authentication method other than a password? If that's what you mean, then I'm not aware of anything. If you just mean not telling users about the password and not sending reminders, you can set a list to not send reminders (General Options->send_reminders), and you can edit the list welcome message and listinfo templates to remove the password references. >Does >anyone know if this issues was resolved in 2.1 I don't understand what 'resolution' you're looking for. >Can anyone just explain the >new password for users and administrators. I am looking on the website, but >could use a knowledgeable persons explanation. Have you seen <http://www.list.org/mailman-member/index.html>? If you are asking why there is a password, the password is required to authenticate the user before allowing the user to change her subscription options via web or email, obtain a private roster available to list members via web or email or view private archives. If the user doesn't want to do any of these things, she doesn't need to know a password. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
