	So far as I know, yes.  The problem is that there is no private 
authenticated admin page.  Anyone can go to the admin interface page, 
but you can't do anything from that page unless you've got the site 
or list admin password(s).

	As site admin, you should have command-line access to the server, 
or at least be able to remember what private lists you've created.

	But you are right that this would be a nice feature.  Please feel 
free to go to the SourceForge Mailman Request for Enhancement page at 
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=103&atid=350103> and file 
an RFE.
