I had submitted the following a few days back:

To which a very nice person replied as follows:
 
>

> Does that password not work?

I sent the above to the person who is having the problem, and he responded
in these terms:
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
       The SINFONIA "list" password has always worked.
        As soon as I get a notice that my personal password does not work,
I return the message using the list password, and it has always gone
through. Then I send in a PW=ADD command and usually get a response that it
is accepted, and then the personal password will work again for awhile.
        No one has logged in to erase files or clean-up the 'Lasting
Globalv' file in age if ever.

Any comments?
 
Thanks.
