Cannot log out when ALLOW_SITE_ADMIN_COOKIES set

[Yeshua]

If ALLOW_SITE_ADMIN_COOKIES is set and you log in using
the site-wide administrative password, then logging out
silently fails. It sends you to the "Logged out,
please log in again screen" without actually logging
you out.

Any password entered at this screen, whether or not it
is valid, will let you "log in" again.

The following patch worked for me:

+++ Mailman/Cgi/admin.py 2009-09-30 12:06:16.000000000 +0200
@@ -107,6 +107,8 @@ def main():
     # Is this a log-out request?
     if category == 'logout':
         print mlist.ZapCookie(mm_cfg.AuthListAdmin)
+ if mm_cfg.ALLOW_SITE_ADMIN_COOKIES:
+ print mlist.ZapCookie(mm_cfg.AuthSiteAdmin)
         Auth.loginpage(mlist, 'admin', frontpage=1)
         return

It removes the (global) site-admin cookie if the "logout" button is clicked in the admin interface of any list.

Oops, launchpad changed indentation and your python won't like that. ;-)

Since I just started using launchpad (and don't know how to mark code in comments yet), please go to
