The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Yonni Edelist <address@concealed>]

hi,
i have a couple of questions concerning sympa's costumization.
1. in the list menu, i would like to display, in addition to the owners' email
addresses, also their names. how can i do that?

2. since i couldn't figure out how to connect sympa to my user database, (a
mySQL table), i simply changed the authorization function in Auth.pm to 
connect
to my database for authentication. it also checks whether the user is found in
sympa's user_table, and if not- adds him (with NULL password), so that after
the first connection, any authenticated user is found in sympa's database.
however, i get all sorts of weird phenomena, such as being "logged out" after
pressing a link (meaning- the title menu etc. change, so that i can't see the
"your subscriptions" link, for example. if i press "login" i get an error
message saying i'm already logged in)
any idea what's causing this?
thanks,
Yonni
