[Mailman-Users] Authentication

[Oliver Egginger]

Mailman passwords implement a very mild level of 
security.
We are using radius too and I never ever would pool it together
with a system which sends the passwords in cleartext and
e-mails through the network.

But if it is vital for you, you can override the mailman password
dead easy.
"Vania Lolham" have shown us one (a little bit useless) example.

1. Finger out how mailman-password are encrypted.
2. Write a script to synchronize the Radius and the mailman passwords.
