Can VAX administrators use netwide DELETE? You bet they can! >1. Your TECHREP has no special privilege as far as SIGNOFF and FOR are > concerned. This bullet is outdated. TECHREP and INFOREP now have the same privileges as NAD's >>> ON RELEASE 1.6e SERVERS <<< This means that your request will be honoured by the vast majority of servers in the US and Canada, and by 1/3 of the EARN servers. You will get a nastygram from 2/3 of the EARN servers (with your request being rejected) if you do not send from the NAD account. So, if you have no defined NAD or if the NAD is in vacations and you're getting a lot of mail to expired accounts it may be a good idea to send a request from the INFOREP or TECHREP account, but be sure to understand the consequences before you do so. >3. FOR userid SIGNOFF * (NETWIDE is not the proper way to do it, > especially if you have 200 users to sign off. If you want to saturate > the lines, do issue 200 SIGNOFF * (NETWIDE commands. This paragraph is also outdated, it should read "If you want to saturate the lines, issue 1,000 SIGNOFF * (NETWIDE commands as the St-Gallen VAX administrators did a couple weeks ago" :-) Eric
