The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Johann Spies <address@concealed>]

System:  Debian woody with sympa 3.3.3-3woody2 

Logrotated reported:

"sympa.conf/cookie parameter has changed. You may have severe
inconsitencies into password storage.  Restore previous cookie or
write some tool to re-encrypt password in database and check spools
contents (look at /etc/sympa/cookies.history file)" 

But there is no /etc/sympa/cookies.history and /etc/sympa/cookie has
not changed in the past 10 months.  

Now my questions:

1. What could have triggered this warning?
2. How do I "restore previous cookie"?   Would copying a backup of
   /etc/sympa/cookie to /etc/sympa be enough?
3. Is there a tool available to "re-encrypt password in database and
   check spools contents"?

Regards
Johann

      so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for
      you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will 
      come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I 
      am, there ye may be also."        John 14:2,3
