| There are several passwords.
|
| List Creator, set by mmsitepass -c, authorizes list creation only.
| Shouldn't authorize list administration. Encrypted value stored in the
| file mm_cfg.LISTCREATOR_PW_FILE which defaults to data/creator.pw
|
| Site Password, set by mmsitepass (no -c option), authorizes any and
| everything. Encrypted value stored in the file mm_cfg.SITE_PW_FILE
| which defaults to data/adm.pw
|
| List administrator. Set per list through list admin, bin/change_pw,
| etc., authorizes administration of the one list that it is for.
| Encrypted value stored with other list data in
| lists/<listname>/config.pck
|
| List moderator. Set per list through list admin, etc., authorizes
| moderation only of the one list that it is for. Encrypted value stored
| with other list data in lists/<listname>/config.pck
