[Mailman-Users] One passwd for one user over many mailinglists

[Gerhard den Hollander]

Situation:

I maintain (with mailman) a number (20-ish going to be 100-ish)
mailinglists for our internal users.

When I create a new mailinglist I usually add a number of users 

This means that these users get yet another default mailman passwd.

What I want is to synchronise all user:passwd combinations over all the
lists.

e.g. currently I have

List 1	(user:passwd)
	A:asdf
	B:sdfg
	C:dfgh

List 2
	A:erty
	C:rtyu
	D:ytur

List 3
	A:lkjh
	D:moiu

What I want is someway to get this to be

List 1	(user:passwd)
	A:asdf
	B:sdfg
	C:dfgh

List 2
	A:asdf
	C:dfgh
	D:ytur

List 3
	A:asdf
	D:ytur


Unfortunately I have 0 experience in programming python.
I looked through the clone_member program in the bin directory and it
looks like what I want is indeed possible provided I know enough python.

If some kind soul could give me 2 scripts
1 : that lists (given a mailinglist) all users and passwords
and
2 : that given a mailinglist, and a list of username/passwords
	sets the password for the listed user to be the one listed in that
	file.

than I would already be fuly helped.

Of course, ideally someone else has already bumped into this problem and
solved it the python way, in which case I'd be very grateful for this
program.

TIA
