No, I don't have the answer to your question, Joe, but...
## >>>> get testlist TOPICS
## **** List 'testlist' is a private list.
## **** Only members of the list can do a 'get'.
## **** You aren't a member of list 'testlist'.
Joe, I'm having possibly-the-same problem w/a list for which I am not the
owner, but -approval. And I do *not* have any access to the machine on
which it's run. 1.94.1; they recently upgraded -- from 1.93, I
believe... Prior to the upgrade, who was private, but it *worked*.
Now, I -- and everyone else subbed -- gets the same error-message:
>>>> who [LISTNAME]
**** List '[LISTNAME]' is a private list.
**** Only members of the list can do a 'who'.
**** You [ Varda Reisner Bruhin <varda@varda.org> ] aren't
a member of list '[LISTNAME]'.
>>>>
Except that I am. But my sub (as are all the others) is *just*
varda@varda.org -- not Varda Reisner Bruhin <varda@varda.org> or
varda@varda.org (Varda Reisner Bruhin). We sub addresses only, no names
-- a decision the listowner made way-back-when.
But if I delete my name, and mail to the majordomo with just my address
(no matter what mailer I use), I still get the same message... and so
does every other subscriber on my list[s].
I, as -approval, can issue an "approve PASSWORD who LISTNAME" and get the
who-list, but only I and the listowner, as the only ones with the
password, can do that, of course.
(At least that's an improvement; we weren't able to do that in the
previous version they were using... Anyone know why that might be?)
What I *believe* are the relevant settings in the config-file are:
Regular list:
private_who = yes
who_access = list
strip = yes
Digest version:
strip = yes
who_access = list
(Included the strip-settings I-don't-know-why, something just told me
to...)
I can't provide any additional info, such as OS or perl version, because I
don't have access to the machine. And my listowner is "out of commission"
for a while, so for now it's pretty much just me and whatever I can do via
the config file by email, and that's it...
(And I hesitate to do even that, because if I screwed it up, I wouldn't
have any direct access to fix it, either...)
Speaking of the config file and email: Is there a way to change just one
or two settings, without sending in an entire newconfig?
(And Joe, if you get any off-list answers which you think might help point
to answers to my problem, I'd appreciate a holler -- thanks!)
-- Varda, who has a tough time being -approval with no direct access...
and waited this long to ask the question in the hope that
someone else would post it and save me the embarrassment...
(And who probably should've changed her personal-name in Pine before
sending this... double-embarrassment!)
