System type, version: (VS2) Version 6.0C
System name: lycus
What's wrong:
Access control when looking at lists is broken. The old
listmaint (protocol v.1) uses different access control routines on the
server, resulting in the inability to examine lists you do not own.
From /usr/athena/listmaint:
[lycus:/mit/jtkohl]<jtkohl>
% where listmaint
/usr/athena/listmaint
[lycus:/mit/jtkohl]<jtkohl>
% listmaint -nomenu

What should have happened:
It should let me look at the list.
