From MIZZOU1: For To From MIZZOU1: Node User Type Node User Quiet (...) From MIZZOU1: UNLVM * all UIUCVM42 = no From MIZZOU1: UNMCVM * all UIUCVM42 = no From MIZZOU1: 32 reroutes found MIZZOU1 is telling RSCS that UNLVM (University of Nebraska) and UNMCVM (University of Nebraska Medical Centre) are the same machine as UIUCVM42. All files to Nebraska are lost, because they are sent to the user at UIUCVM42 by the same name which probably doesn't exist, and jobs to their LISTSERV is being routed back to UIUCVM42, which rejects them because the file has been through it. Well one thing is to wear 20 different hats and not know the difference between ROUTE and REROUTE. But it is another thing entirely to make a change of this magnitude on a Friday without bothering to test it (sending a test file to a random user at UNLVM would have instantly pointed to the problem), and lose other people's files as a result. But, I guess, sometimes Fridays are very busy and there is just no time. Now, when you start being flooded with error messages after making a change and still can't figure out that there might be a problem with what you did, well, I just don't know where to look for an excuse. The typo in the code which caused the "Reason" blurb to replace rather than be appended to the error message will be fixed in 1.8a. Eric
