There are several ways to do this. If you know her password to any list, or the site admin password, log on to her user options page for the list. From there, you can change name and address globally (but not if you authorized with the list admin password - only the user's or site admin password works for a global change). If you have command line access to the Mailman installation, you can use bin/remove_members to remove her from all the lists with one command an then use bin/add_members in a shell script to add a new member to all lists. E.g. (for illustration only, may contain typos, you may want more options on the add_members command) #! /bin/bash file=`mktemp` echo Real Name \<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > $file for list in `bin/list_lists -b` do bin/add_members -r $file $list done rm $file You might also use the withlist script at <http://veenet.value.net/~msapiro/scripts/change_member_address.py> (mirrored at <http://fog.ccsf.edu/~msapiro/scripts/change_member_address.py>) to change the address on all lists, but as it is, it won't change the name. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
