Holly: This relates to addressing the password issue. Barry:
Or should I say that YOUR timing is impeccable. Do I only need to install that one new script? Or would I have to upgrade entirely to the cvs to make this happen? I think we're running 2.1.5 on the relevant server. Or 2.1.3. Can't really remember. I handle all or pieces of four different mailman installations. Thank you folks so much for a great product. It has served our work well. -- Hugh >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Dec 30 22:56:22 2004 Subject: Re: [Mailman-Developers] Need to reset passwords en masse, pls help From: Barry Warsaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [email protected] On Wed, 2004-12-29 at 00:46, Hugh Esco wrote: > I have command line access as root in a BSD jail to this > installation. >=20 > I need to know: is there anyway I can automate the resetting > of every password for every subscriber on this installation, > with the new password sent out in an email to the subscriber, > and causing as little confusion and disruption as possible? You're timing is impeccable! I just checked in a script called 'reset_pw' which was based on a contribution by Florien Weimer. This script is intended to be run under bin/withlist and can be used to reset the passwords for all the members of a list (or all members of all lists, using withlist's -a option). After you've reset the passwords, you'd want to run cron/mailpasswds manually to send out new reminders containing the new passwords. While the script has been checked into CVS, it hasn't undergone much testing, so caveat emptor (read: make backups first!). If you don't have CVS access and can't wait until Mailman 2.1.6, look here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mailman/mailman/bin/?only_with_tag=3D= Release_2_1-maint but remember that the SourceForge CVS delay means the script isn't visible yet.
