Hi all, Newbie on the list. First of all thank you for making GNU Mailman and making prospective mods. and admins life easier. Secondly, please CC me if somebody answers to this query as I have stopped mail delivery from the list (Mailman can simply deluge my inbox as it has quite some activity) as well as I am subscribed to too many lists (where also I have done the above), the idea being to limit intake wherever I can. I am also not a python geek but have played a bit with python. Am comfortable on console/terminal.
Anyways, onto the query/issue. Recently on one of the mailing lists I have been upgraded to adminship on one of the mailing lists . While I understand that being an administrator means you have earned the trust of fellow admins. I also saw that all the admins share a common password for admin purposes. If one of the admins. does something naughty/mischievous thing I assume it could be found out by the IP Address and if some event escalates then do tracing of of as to who had the IP Address at that point in time. Internally I feel it *probably* uses either a cookie/token or something like that but have no idea what it does. What I want to know if administrators can have some sort of own unique passwords which Mailman can authenticate as to who took what steps ? I looked up both the archives and the wiki to see if something similar was asked before but somehow wasn't able to get any clear answers. I got the following results but they seem to be different and unsatisfactory :- https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/site.html http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg50419.html I also looked up the wiki but ended up none the wiser . Looking forward to help or/and direction in this regard. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
