I replied off the list last to to a similar post.  When I moved my ~475=20=

lists, I hit the same problem.
What I ended up doing was:

foreach list in lists
do
	dumpdb $list/config.db | grep admin_password_line | some awk (to=20=

rip out the password column) | some sed (to get rid of some funky=20
characters) > $listname_file
done

foreach list in lists
do
	config_list -i $listname_file
done

This worked fairly well.  40 or so out of the ~475 at the time didn't=20
take & I had to manually fix the files, or just reset the passwords.  It=20=

wasn't that hard, and I just did it all from the shell prompt, but I=20
might be able to dig it up if you really need me to.

I am of course, interested in a more *proper* way of doing this.

<smaller>In moving the 175 mailing lists from one machine (version

Is there a way to set a list's password via the command line? =A0I'd
hate to have to manually set each one & send it to the list admin(s).
