If anyone there can provide an answer to the question I asked Brent Chapman,
I would greatly appreciate it. I work for the helpdesk of the Colorado
Supernet, and I am trying to see if it is possible to block subscribers
to a majordomo list from getting the data from a 'who' command.
Thanks for any help you can provide, MOP

I'm not sure; I don't have any of my own lists set up that way, but it
might be a feature/capability somebody else added after I stopped doing
Majordomo maintenance. I'd suggest checking the Majordomo documentation in
the O'Reilly & Associates book "Managing Internet Information Services", or
asking on Majordomo-Users@GreatCircle.COM.
If nothing else, you could always modify the main loop in the Majordomo
source to simply disable the "who" command, though that would obviously
affect all the lists on your server.
