EXAMPLE:
configset GLOBAL master_password = XXXXX

This is the encrypted master password for the list.  Anyone who knows
the unencrypted version of this password can perform any list action and
change any list data.

The list's master_password can be used to issue any command that applies 
to the list.  It is a level 2 password (see "help admin_passwords" for 
a description of password levels).  It also allows the review of list 
information, with commands like "who," that may otherwise be disabled.

To change a password you will need to approve the command as follows:

   approve CURRENTPW configset LISTNAME master_password = NEWPW

or as two separate commands:

   default password CURRENTPW
   configset LISTNAME master_password = NEWPW

Replace LISTNAME with the name of your mailing list, NEWPW with the new
master password, and CURRENTPW with the old master password.

The GLOBAL master_password for a domain works on every list in that domain
and for configuring the special GLOBAL pseudo-list. It should be reserved
for use by the domain administrator in most cases. Note that a host computer
can contain several virtual domains, and the GLOBAL password is unique for
each such domain; see "help admin_domain" for more details.

See "help configset_passwords" for other limited or subsidiary passwords
that can be used to delegate list management tasks without releasing the
master password.
