Subject: Access control for semi-moderated list

I have one list that is semi-moderated, meaning that there is a list 
of approved people who are allowed to post, and any list member who 
is not in this list cannot post.

I have a file called listname-post.  In listname.config, I have  
"restrict_post=listname-post"

In general, I like the fact that 194 now uses restrict_post for 
access control for who, which, get, etc. so list members can get 
digest archives, and digest members can get list archives, on a 
normal list.

The problem is that now list members on this semi-moderated list
cannot do a who or get on the list, unless they are one of the 
allowed posters.

It turns out it is OK for the digest list because I can set 
restrict_post on the digest config to include the list and digest 
files, since the digest config file doesn't apply to posting controls 
for resend.  But I'm still stuck for access to the main list.

Does anyone have any suggestions or hacks with 194 to allow a subset of 
members to post, and allow all list and digest members access to who 
and get?  I'd appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks!

- Alan
