ok i learned that i missunderstood what function masters are intended to
have ( googled around ), the problem with list
is caused by not having master users acl rights
can be fixed with postlogin script

like


#!/bin/bash
export MASTER_USER=$USER <<<
# a) Filesystem based timestamp in user's home directory
touch ~/last_login
# b) SQL based tracking. Beware of potential SQL injection holes if you
allow
# users to have ' characters in usernames.
#echo "update last_login = now WHERE user = '$USER'" | mysql mails
exec "$@"

it might be better to have that in the master code
at last it should be in the wiki2 as workaround
