Hello all, following this bug: reset list admin password working? http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?109296
I finally got a chance to dig into the mailing list interface (and learned how it works for the first time). Mailing list password-reset should work now. There were two problems: 1. The cronjob mgt0:/opt/savannah/bin/sv_mailman used hard-coded path to scripts which did not exist. 2. The script which did exist in different path (mgt0:/opt/savannah/sbin/change_pw) was a no-op stub. I fixed it by implementing 'change_pw' and creating symlinks from the hard-coded paths to /opt/savannah/sbin (I know, the Right Thing would be to fix 'sv_mailman' and remove the hard-coded paths, but I didn't get to it yet). I also documented all I learned here: https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/MailingListsInternals/ comments welcome, - assaf
