>>I just migrated a Mailman installation (~800 lists, ~5000 users) from 2.1.5 >>on SPARC Solaris to 2.1.9 on Linux x86. In the process, it looks like >>existing list passwords have become corrupted.

Your subject says 2.0.x to 2.1.x, but above you say 2.1.5 to 2.1.9. Sorry Mark, you're right; this is 2.0.5 to 2.1.9. Apologies for the format of this email, too; Exchange webmail is awful. >With a 2.0.x to 2.1.x migration, list admin and moderator passwords will be lost. This is because the encryption algorithm changed, and there is no way to decrypt the 2.0.x password and re-encrypt it for 2.1.x. Okay, that makes sense. >In Mailman 2.1, there is a bin/change_pw script which can be used to generate new list passwords and mail them to the list owners - the list owners will have to assign new moderator passwords if any. Thanks for the info! I might add this to the 2.0.x/2.1.y article in the FAQ so that other users are aware of this.
