Oh - A few years ago, I admin'd a mailman site. I hacked the python code and removed the ability for users to select their own password. I remember it was a little more difficult than expected (just cuz the way mailman was (is?) written, the way they're using python isn't great for a webpage; I hope they're moving to django moving forward, something MVC-ish)... But it wasn't terribly difficult. None of the users noticed or complained or even commented. _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
