The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Dale Ghent <address@concealed>]

Later this spring, I'm going deploy Sympa as a replacement to our  
current ListProc server of 2100 lists here at UMBC.

I love the LDAP data sources, as making automatically maintained  
campus wide lists based on affiliation (student, staff, faculty, etc)  
really eases a large burden on us, but I have a concern about the  
implications this configurability has vis a vis list owners who  
shouldn't be toying with it.

Is it possible to make certain Data Sources configuration areas for a  
given list to be viewable and configurable by only the site-wide  
listmasters, denying even the owner of the list the ability to view  
or manage the data source in question?

My reasoning is that I don't want to configure, say, a all-students  
list for someone using the LDAP data source, and the owner, who may  
own other lists, getting a big idea and copying that  data source  
configuration to other lists (or giving that info to other list  
owners who may then use it) and before I know it, people have  
conveniently made their own all-students lists without my knowledge.

Any thoughts on this matter?
