Hi,
I have been using the withlist command to delete a given administrator
or moderator from all mailman 2.1 lists.
I also require to change the moderator or admin password for all lists
that they have been removed from, but have it so that it is a different
randomly generated password for each list they are removed from and then
have this emailed to the other moderators or admins who are then left or
a default address if none are left (I have managed so far that it is
changed to the same password for each list they have been removed from).
I am currently at the beginning of my Python learning so this is why I'm
asking for help.
My script and usage so far can be found below:
Usage:
withlist --all --run script_name.change_administrator_password
firstname.lastn...@domain.co.uk `pwgen -sB 15 1`
The script is saved at:
/usr/sbin/
Function defined in the script:
import sha
def change_administrator_password(mlist, owner, newpasswd):
mlist.Lock()
try:
if mlist.owner[mlist.owner.index(owner)]:
mlist.password = sha.new(newpasswd).hexdigest()
print (newpasswd)
except:
print("password not changed for", (mlist.real_name, owner))
mlist.Save()
mlist.Unlock()
This will go through all lists and change the administrator password to
a randomly generated one, but as advised above it will set the same
password (not what I want) I've put a print in for debugging so I can
see what it was.
Thanks
Daniel
