Hi

I have about 100 lists running on my server. Every list has different
password. But there is one another password which works on all the list with
all rights. Now, I want to change that common/master password for existing
and new lists which I will create .


Please suggest how to do this.

Regards,
Vinita aggarwal

Since you quote a web interface error message, I assume you are trying
to create a list via the web create page.

Are you providing the correct Mailman site password or Mailman list
creator password as set by bin/mmsitepass for the "List creator's
(authentication) password:" at the bottom of the form?	

Note that as root or the Mailman user, you can also create a list using
bin/newlist.

Give these commands (newlist, mmsitepass) with the --help option for
more info.
