This userid received this password rejection when attempting to PUT
some changes to the headers of this list?  I looked at the console
log, and the password listed on the PUT command is exactly what is
listed in the SIGNUP2 FILE on LISTSERV's 191...  I also saw the
original PUT command, and it looked fine, too...
 
About the only thing "odd" I can find is that there are TWO entries in
SIGNUP2 FILE for this userid...  One (with the password) has the
userid in all uppercase...  The other (without a password) has the
userid in all lowercase...  This userid is able to issue list owner
commands (ADD, DEL, etc) and was able to issue the "GET (HDR" command
using this password just fine...  But the PUT was rejected...
 
Could the PUT command be looking at the lowercase SIGNUP2 entry while
all the other commands are looking at the uppercase entry???
 
Would this be "solved" if I just REGISTER OFF the lowercase entry?
Or, can I PWC ADD a password for the lowercase entry?
 
Suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Bill

Invalid password supplied. Acceptable passwords are: your personal password
(obtained through the "PW ADD" command) and the password of list xxxxxxxx.
