I recently changed (with "moira") the owner of the list "faqs" in
Moira from USER jik to LIST faqs (i.e., itself). I changed my mind
and decided to change it back, but figured, "Hey, what the heck, might
as well make it KERBEROS instead of USER," and therefore changed it to
KERBEROS jik.
Now, I can't edit the list anymore.
There are three bugs here:
1) If I'm about to make a change which takes away my own access to
something, "moira" should warn me and ask for confirmation.
2) Either (a) a KERBEROS owner without a realm should default to the
realm of the Moira server, or (b) the realm of the client should be
appended automatically by "moira" when a KERBEROS type is entered, or
(c) it should reject a KERBEROS type without a realm.
3) The "moira" man page should document what a KERBEROS list
entry/owner is.
I'm CC'ing this to accounts, because I'd appreciate if one of the
account admins would change the owner of the list back to USER jik so
I can edit it again.
Thank you.
