[Mailman-Users] admin's private_roster default vs. subscriber's conceal default

Greetings,

My list is set up so that only the administrator can view the list of 
subscribers.  I did this by setting private_roster=2 (List admin only) on 
the admin's "Privacy Options" page.

However, when subscribers login, they see that conceal=0 is the 
default.  I.e. they see under "Conceal yourself from subscriber list?" that 
"no" is checked.  My understanding is that this conceal setting doesn't 
matter with private_roster=2, but IF private_roster were set to 0 (anyone) 
or 1 (list members) then the individual subscribers could still override 
the admin default (with conceal=yes) and prevent their e-mail from being seen.

Is there any way to make conceal=yes the default?  And is my understanding 
of the relationship between private_roster and conceal correct?  Just want 
to make sure that my subscribers feel secure about their privacy (by 
default).  Thanks!

Regards,
Erik
