That's right.  In most cases, when an English noun modifies a following
noun, the first noun is not marked for plural: we speak of a rat-eater,
not a rats-eater, even if it eats more than one rat.  There are exceptions
like "enemies list", because "enemy list" would suggest not a list of
enemies but a list which itself is an enemy.
