Thanks.
It is more complex than that, but do you want to do it? If I understand correctly, the consequences will be that at least simple, web browser password managers will not remember these passwords for their users. There is a downside to not disabling browser password management in that a user at a public work station can allow a browser to remember a password and this is bad, but whether this is something worth disabling all password management for is something you need to consider. If you want to do it, the places where Mailman accepts passwords are: - the admin and admindb login pages which are built from the admlogin.html template - the private archive login page which is built from the private.html template - the user options login page which is hard coded in the loginpage() function in Mailman/Cgi/options.py - the roster request form on the listinfo page built using the <MM-Roster-Form-Start> tag on the listinfo.html template. - the subscribe form on the listinfo page built using the <MM-Subscribe-Form-Start> tag on the listinfo.html template. - the password change fields which are part of the entire, multi-button form on the user options page using the <MM-Form-Start> tag. You do not edit templates in the various templates/en/, etc. directories. If you want to make site wide edited templates, you put them in directories named templates/site/en/, etc. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/jYA9>. All the various <MM-*Form-Start> tags are ultimately processed by the FormatFormStart() method defined in Mailman/HTMLFormatter.py -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
