the code looks the same for 1.94.5 (the latest).

I was unable to reproduce this behaviour on a Majordomo 1.94.4

Did you actually test it out on a 1.94.5 ? If so, they have reintroduced a
bug...

I can reproduce this on 1.94.5.

It also appears that issuing the "passwd" command changes only the
password in the listname.passwd file, not the admin_passwd entry in the
listname.config file.
