Bug Description
given two lists on a mailman instance, foo and bar, each with a list
passsword the same as the name. login to one, save the password in firefox,
go to the other's admindb and it will fail - wrong password. login and ask
firefox to remember it and it resets the password saved for the list foo.
This is annoying :) I suspect you are using the same field and form names -
while I don't know what the heuristic ff uses for html auth field
detection, its certainly assuming its the *same* password.
One hack that might be elegant and work would be a hidden field called
username set to the list name :)
Another would be just changing things to ff thinks its a different password
and stores it differently.
I'd *really* love a fix that can be backported to 2.1.8 which our list
servers are running.

template. The string %(listname)s will be replaced with the list name. You
could implement your first suggestion by changing the line
<TD><INPUT TYPE="password" NAME="adminpw" SIZE="30"></TD>
to
<TD><INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="userid" VALUE=" %(listname) s">
<INPUT TYPE="password" NAME="adminpw" SIZE="30"></TD>
Changing the name "adminpw" to something list specific as in your second
suggestion would require several code changes to identify the password.
