Re: [Mailman-Users] Passwords of members UPDATE

A better solution would be to upgrade to MM2.1. It uses sha1 hashing, which will always be available.
OK, I upgraded to MM2.1. After having to run check_perms with -f to fix permissions, I finally got the web pages up.
When I go in as site admin and change the list admin's password for a list, I *still* cannot log in as the list admin. (I still receive the authentication error).
And if I go back into the password change page for the list as the site admin, and if I put in a new list admin password and have a *different* verified password, I receive no errors when I click submit.
However, if I run "change_pw" from the command line, changing the password for the list admin for the specific list, them, I CAN log in! :)
So, it's the web interface that's screwing up. We're narrowing this one down now... I hope! Any suggestions?

Do you have any cookie blockers or other proxies between your browser and the web server? That's about the only thing I can think of.

Sir I just created 10 lists and whenever I send a message to any of them the messages end up in qfiles directory. So I cleaned up the directory send the message to a different mailing list, it got posted. But there is no message being posted to the new lists I created. When I go through the mail log, I see the wrapper is trying to post and in logs I checked the qrunner log, it tells me exception in reading the message file. I am using mailman version 2.0.2. Its an openbsd3.1 box with sendmail as its mta Can you tell me what am I doing wrong?
