Sure, edit majordomo, and hard-code something.

Look for the do_who function, and put something like this before the line
that reads "# Check to see that the list is valid":

    if ($clean_list eq "my-list") {
	print REPLY "**** 'who' is disabled for this list.\n";
	return 0;
    }

Perhaps the configuration should allow more choices than private and public,
but for now the above solves your problem.  "Use the source, Luke"
