As the admin, you have file level access to all lists and configs.  You also have the ability to read the admin password for every
list.  Anyone with this password can send commands to majordomo as the list owner.  Have you confirmed that list owners are in fact
getting the old config back when they send a `config listname password` message to majordomo?  Have you looked in the lists
directory to see if any config file exists with the older style information?  Are you sure the list owners are doing a get command
before a send command when it comes to newconfig?  Maybe they are just working from older copies and do not realize the private_*
settings are no longer supported.
