Hi Wayne, If people have passwords set up and you want to bring those over, that means you'll have to move the SIGNUP files. We had trouble getting this to work until I asked L-Soft support for help. It seems we needed to "re-hash the SIGNUP files." I am not sure whether this was something unique to us (we were moving from AIX to Linux, and on an older Listserv version) or whether it is generally applicable. I don't recall reading about it in the regular documentation (which doesn't guarantee it wasn't in there.) Anyway, L-Soft support can tell you how to do it. We set up the new system as a test system ahead of time (of course we worked out the license issues with L-Soft) with Listserv, a mailer, and a web server. That way we could test moving a test list first, well in advance of our actual migration. Margaret King Michigan State University Wayne T.
