Me too. If you mean you don't know the list password and/or the site
password then if you shouldn't know these things, pass the problem to
the person who should, and if you should know these things, see
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.008.htp>.

If you mean that attempts to go to URLs like
<http://www.example.com/mailman/admin/mailman> and
<http://www.example.com/mailman/admindb/mailman> take you to the
listinfo overview page instead, your web server is misconfigured. You
have something like

RedirectMatch /mailman[/]*$   http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo

and it should be

RedirectMatch ^/mailman[/]*$   http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo

Fix this, but in the mean time you can use URL's like

<http://www.example.com/mailman/admin/mailman/x> and
<http://www.example.com/mailman/admindb/mailman/x> instead.
