Do universities permit shared accounts? or possibly what you really mean is: 1b. Do universities permit multiple list-owners, possibly from different places, including non-local owners? 2. How does one have multiple moderators on one list? (2) is easier to answer. Certainly Listserv lets you have multiple Editors (and I believe with 1.8b one can have multiple "Moderator=" keywords that automatically loadshares amongst the moderators.) So it isn't clear why you needed to do it with Listserv on your other site. Since lstown-l is geared towards Listserv-based list, this is perhaps not the best place to ask whether Listproc lets you have multiple moderators (load-shared or otherwise), though some people may well know. I'd be very surprised if it didn't, though, since this seems like such a basic capability. (1a) Multiple users of same account. >If someone knows of university sites that permit this, please send my a >note I could use in my efforts. MIT used to, for legitimate student groups and the like, but has an official policy against this for a few years now (there has to be exactly ONE real person who owns the account). So no, this policy doesn't surprise me (and is actually quite reasonable given increased computer security violations, etc.). (1b) Of course, having multiple list-moderators is a very natural setup. MIT requires that the principal list-owner (not moderator) be an MIT person (student, staff, faculty) who is responsible for and sponsors the list, but does not restrict who the other list owners, or the moderators, can be. But the non-MIT list owners only have list access control--they do not have "accounts" in any sense of the word.
