First, thanks for the replies pointing out the cause of the problem. Just goes to show that even though you make these changes with Ben Chi's bible in front of you, you can still blow it. Second, correcting the problem is another matter. We finally got it resolved but only after shutting down LISTSERV and editing the filelist file on LISTSERV's A disk were we able to remove the log file entries. If you try to edit the filelist and repost it you are notified that the log files have been deleted but are still on disk and the put has been rejected. Thanks again, Jim Cocks Univ. of Louisville
