Either password is acceptable. Just use your personal password all the time. >What is the function of each of these passwords? Think about the case of peered lists where each of the peers has a different set of multiple owners. Consider the fact that each of these owners probably owns several such peered lists. >If I use a PUT command in a list header or filelist file I think I need >the password supplied on the PW= list header keyword. No, you need any acceptable password, and acceptable passwords include your personal password. Eric
