[BALUG-Admin] I appear not to have the current listadmin password

[Michael Paoli]

Hmmmm...  Well, looks like I'll be following up with Michael Hubbard -
I'll take that (at least password related bits) off-list (since this list
is publicly archived).

Thank you for contacting DreamHost Support, my name is Joseph R. How  
may I be of assistance today :)?

Hi ... not sure why, but our list admin password is no longer working  
on our lists ... probably about time we change it anyway, can you  
reset it and provide me that? ...

List admin password? For announcement lists?
Michael Paoli: at 22:15:24
For our Mailman lists - we have three of them.
Joseph R: at 22:15:55
Gotcha. Unfortunately, the account you're contacting me from does not  
have access to any mailing lists.
Michael Paoli: at 22:16:02
I don't see anything anywhere on the panels for reseting list admin password.
Joseph R: at 22:16:07
The primary account owner would have to submit a ticket for password resets.
Michael Paoli: at 22:16:48
Hmmmm, odd, always has before ... is that some new change? I've always  
been the one dealing with the list stuff for many years.
Joseph R: at 22:17:23
Interesting. Well, looking at the account you don't have "access" to  
the announcement lists so I can't provide resets if you don't have the  
permissions for them :(
Michael Paoli: at 22:18:21
Okay ... well, guess I have to get hold of primary account holder  
then. I'll proceed on that then.
Joseph R: at 22:20:04
Yeah..sorry about that :(
Michael Paoli: at 22:20:23
Okay, well then I guess that covers it for the moment.
Joseph R: at 22:21:25
Yup. Anything else I can help you with today :)?
Michael Paoli: at 22:21:39
That's it for now.
Joseph R: at 22:21:50
Alrighty! Have a wonderful evening!
Michael Paoli: at 22:21:59
Thanks. Bye.
Joseph R: at 22:22:13
You're welcome! Have ag ood one!
