This is version dependent, unfortunately.  There is some
disagreement/confusion as to exactly how it's supposed to work.  1.93
showed lists to subscribers, 1.94.1 didn't, 1.94.3 does (I think).

One of the nice things about Majordomo is that it's so easy to just make it
do what you want, since you have the source.  The only difference is this
code in 'majordomo':

            $result  = &is_list_member($reply_to, $listdir, $list)
                if ! $result;

Take it out of you don't want subscribers to see unadvertised lists, put it
in if you do [1].  Not doing the check can vastly speed up the lists
command, BTW, if your lists are large.

[1] right before this code:

                printf REPLY "  %-23s %-.56s\n", $list,
                        $config_opts{$list, 'description'} if $result;
        } else {

Sorry, too lazy to cook up a patch from a clean 1.94.1.  Let me know if
anyone needs one.
