This wouldn't help as the "Authorization failed" error occurs before any
attempt has been made to access the archive files.

In Mailman/Cgi/private.py, look for the following lines:
if not mlist.WebAuthenticate((mm_cfg.AuthUser,
mm_cfg.AuthListModerator,
mm_cfg.AuthListAdmin,
mm_cfg.AuthSiteAdmin),
password, username):
if cgidata.has_key('submit'):
# This is a re-authorization attempt
message = Bold(FontSize('+1', _('Authorization
failed.'))).Format()
# give an HTTP 401 for authentication failure
print 'Status: 401 Unauthorized'
and change the single line (wrapped here)
message = Bold(FontSize('+1', _('Authorization
failed.'))).Format()
to the three lines
message = Bold(FontSize('+1',
_("""Authorization failed.
User = '%(username)s'; Password = '%(password)s'"""))).Format()
This will display the Email address and Password being validated. If you
think the password, and Email address if the context is for a list
member, should be valid as a list member, moderator, owner or site
admin, look at the WebAuthenticate method in Mailman/SecurityManager.py.
