On LISTSERV@YALEVM and LISTSERV@YALEADS the userid POSTMAST is defined as the primary postmaster. POSTMAST can LSVPUT LISTSERV FILELIST (PUT with CTL authority on YALEVM, but not YALEADS. POSTMAST is defined the same way in LOCAL SYSVARS on both machines. Other lesser postmasters on YALEADS do not have this problem. What do we need to do to fix this?
