I have recently upgraded from a working Mailman 2.0.8 to version 2.0.13. While Mailman 2.0.8 worked great, v2.0.13 is not totally working for me.
Since the upgrade, I am having a problem with LIST ADMIN PASSWORD AUTHENTICATION via the web. As a user subscribed to a list, I am able to (via the web interface) successfully log in with the user list password to the user list options page. However, as the LIST ADMIN, any time I now log into the LIST ADMIN screen with the list admin password , I get authentication failed. However, I CAN log into any list admin screen with the *site-wide* master mailman admin password. I just cannot log into any list admin screens with the list-admin. Once I get into a *list admin* screen with the *site-wide password*, if I change that specific list's LIST ADMIN password, and they try to login as the LIST ADMIN, I still get an Authentication failed error. So, is this a bug of some sort in v 2.0.13? I had no problems with 2.0.8. Just a note too that I recently upgraded our Apache from 1.3.14 to 1.3.17. Python is at 2.1 We tried Pyton 2.2.2, but we get dynlink errors (ELF) with 2.2.2, so we dropped back to 2.1. Again, and this is important, everything worked with mailman 2.0.8. The upgrade to 2.0.13 has caused the problems with List Admin authentications via the web. Site-wide mailman and user mailman password authentication works fine. So, what could be happening? Is there anyway for the site admin to see the list admin passwords to see what mailman thinks it has? I considered downgrading back to Mailman 2.0.8, since that version had worked. However, mailman will not let you downgrade. When I try to re-install 2.0.8, it complains: "Downgrade detected, from version 0x2000df0 to version 0x20008f0 This is probably not safe. Exiting.". So, I need to stay at 2.0.13. How can I fix this "bug" with list admin passwords for this version? Also, how does one change a list admin's password at the command line? Or is it only possible via the web? Thanks in advance!
