Admin pages not working via Navigator 3
Hi All,
I'm getting desperate for fix for this one, if anyone has ANY ideas, please let me know.
I created a list in the same manner I've used to create six or seven previously which are all working as expected. The moderator of this new list is using Navigator3 16-bit, and finds that;
- Every access to one of the admin pages results in the authentication page.
- Any attempt to "Submit Changes" results in the authentication page, AND the changes are not made.
If I perform the same actions, using the same password, using Communicator, all works as expected. Therefore I suspect something about the interaction between Mailman and Navigator 3.

i bet the admin user's system clock is running too much off...so cookies expire immediately...
maybe this should be added to the FAQ (if it's not there already? :) )

I've had something similar reported to me, IE5 and NS4.6 both causing problems, lynx no problem and my local testing with NS4.51 no problem. I don't think it's a time problem with my user (very clued and needs an accurate clock for local security reasons).
ideas?

I'm not sure, but this sounds like a problem with cookies for which a fix was checked in, and so the problem should be fixed in the next release.

AM> 3.Someone mentioned the system clock. It's also possible that NS3 suffers from the same cookie bug that MSIE4 had. Try the CVS snapshop and see if that solves your problem.
