I was hacking around my new Mailman setup, and found out to my great
surprise:
The private archives are accessible without a username. Well, that's
only half the story, but it really caught me by surprise. I eventually
figured out that the list is accessible by entering just the admin

Well, it IS rather convinient, but I am more concerned of the potential
(sort-of) security risk. Because access is allowed without username,
some d00d with evil intent would have an easier time brute-forcing the
password..
You know what 'they' say... to catch the bad guys, you have to think
Greetings,
My list is set up so that only the administrator can view the list of
subscribers. I did this by setting private_roster=2 (List admin only) on
the admin's Privacy Options page.
However, when subscribers login, they see that conceal=0 is the
default. I.e. they see under Conceal
I just installed v2.1b1, and I have to say that its support for
multi-language lists is excellent! One thing I can't seem to get working
is the main /mailman/admin page. It is supposed to list the publicly
available mailing lists, but I don't know what that means. I haven't
found the setting

Just some ideas on how this is done would be

see if that helps. this is a really common problem (getting the wrong
group-id) and is addressed in the mailman faq
Thx

I have about a dozen elists on Yahoogroups and would love to get them off there

the features of YHG's email software.

i've been having some problems with our mailman installation at the
office. it's mailman 2.0.8 from the debian package (so the installation
is a bit weird, to conform with debian policy etc. etc.), but seems to
work pretty well most of the time.
the archives are from an older mailman
anyway the problem is that there are lock files, which don't have a date
or time on them. if i create files in that directory, they have a date
/ time as they should, but the lock files look like:
-rw-rw-r--2 list list 41 Mar 29 2002 adm.lock
-rw-rw-r--2 list

What you're seeing is that the lock file timestamp is in the future,
and that's by design; the file timestamp is used as the 'expiration
time' to break stale locks. It's normal behavior. Do you think it's
causing problems?
(This 'feature' of ls is not well known, but
in any event, i wasn't sure if this was the problem; however removing
the locks generally fixes the problems (ie messages on the list won't
appear and after removing the locks, they do).
There may well be locking issues, but the future timestamp
is not evidence. Try checking for the PIDs;
Yahoo groups has a service that allows users to upload files, and it
notifies the users of new uploads. Can this, or has this been done with
Mailmna?

This is one of their ideological hot buttons - you're not supposed to WANT

I think that is how it's should be, since on a fresh install, these
commands are entered *before* you `make install`.
