My brute-force approach was just to restrict the 'who' command so
that -no one- can use it.  I'm not convinced there -is- a good reason
for anyone to need to get at the subscriber list, except maybe the
list owner -- and I allow that via a password-protected web page.

It's pretty trivial, Perl-wise, to disable 'who'.  Let me know if
you need help with that.
