The userids from which LISTSERV steals files do, in fact, exist in the CP directory. However, at least here on NCSUVM, they have a 0 meg virtual machine, so if anyone attempts to log on to these accounts, they are immeadiately knocked off. Evidently, you can't NOLOG these accounts, because doing so would prevent them from being able to receive reader files. Any corrections to this, or is it a correct assumption? -chuck [log in to unmask] -or- [log in to unmask]
