_______________________________________________________
It should be possible to reset reset mailing-list password in an automated
way. We have to implement something to avoid that kind of painy support
request. It should be pretty trivial.
It may implies change in the savannah code.

"Hum, do you have a working script that can change mailman 2.0.x passwd with a
command line?"
Yes, these files are resident on [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root, there's a little shell
wrapper and the python thingie. I had to dig up the pieces in Mailman code,
Google and list.org didn't helped me much.
Attached here.

"BTW, how do you reset a Mailman ML password from the command line ?"
You don't. That the issue.
"There's a script for mailman 2.1.x, but on our 2.0.11 I had to resort to a
little Python script and 'whithlist'."
Hum, do you have a working script that can change mailman 2.0.x passwd with a
command line? If so, that's wonderfull.
The next step would be to include in a well chosen place (/mail/admin right) a
way to make that change. It is probably easy to allow a change of the password
in the database (take care to only alter the mailman related part) + status
change and then make sv_mailman updating everything if it reach this status.
Indeed, this page would be accessible only to project admins.
(I insist on the fact that the it would be best to have this third party
script called by sv_mailman)

I'd be willing to add a 'Reset list password' in the mail/admin interface...
