The first is the ``site password'' +which can be used anywhere a password is required in the system. The site +password will get you into the administration page for any list, and it can be +used to log in as any user. Think <code>root</code> for a Unix system, so pick this +password wisely! + +<p> +The second password is a site-wide ``list creator'' password. You can use +this to delegate the ability to create new mailing lists without providing all +the privileges of the site password. Of course, the owner of the site +password can also create new mailing lists, but the list creator password is +limited to just that special role. + +<p> +To set the site password, use this command: + +<p> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + % $prefix/bin/mmsitepass <your-site-password> +</pre></div> + +<p> +To set the list creator password, use this command: + +<p> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + % $prefix/bin/mmsitepass -c <list-creator-password> +</pre></div> + +<p> +It is okay not to set a list creator password, but you probably do want a site +password. + +<p> + +<div class="navigation"> +<div class='online-navigation'> +<p></p><hr /> +<table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> +<tr> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="prev" title="11 check the hostname" + href="node43.html"><img src='previous.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Previous Page' width='32' /></a></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="parent" title="Front Matter" + href="front.html"><img src='up.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Up one Level' width='32' /></a></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="next" title="13 create your first" + href="node45.html"><img src='next.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Next Page' width='32' /></a></td> +<td align="center" width="100%">GNU Mailman - Installation Manual</td> +<td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> +</tr></table> +<div class='online-navigation'> +<b class="navlabel">Previous:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="prev" href="node43.html">11 Check the hostname</a> +<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="parent" href="front.html">Front Matter</a> +<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="next" href="node45.html">13 Create your first</a> +</div> +</div> +<hr /> +<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on December 5, 2007.</span> +</div> +<!--End of Navigation Panel--> + +</body> +</html> |
