The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaun - CRU <address@concealed>]

Sorry the problem you report is related to a small error in a web template.
Here are the fixes for it :
http://listes.cru.fr/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/sympa/wwsympa/wws_templates/fr/loginbanner.fr.tpl.diff?r1=1.9&r2=1.10&f=u
http://listes.cru.fr/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/sympa/wwsympa/wws_templates/us/loginbanner.us.tpl.diff?r1=1.7&r2=1.8&f=u

I'd also like to reassure you : Sympa allows new authentication 
methods/backends but remains compatible with previous release, still 
able to provide its own MySQL-based authentication.

Thanks for reporting this problem.
