"Validate=" controls  the level of  security of  your list, and  not what
users are  allowed or  not allowed to  do. With version  1.8a there  is a
confirmation mechanism that does not require  the use of passwords and it
allows users to  execute commands that were previously  not possible with
"Validate= All" because there was no way  for a user to validate them. If
you want to restrict SIGNOFF and the like, you can use a list exit.
