There is a small bug in the default LSV$PW EXEC. Since this is a user exit, I cannot fix it the usual way; I can only correct the code so that people who request the code in the future get the fixed version. I recommend changing line 66 of LSV$PW EXEC from: When rc == 101 Then bestnode = '' /* Won't match 'node' */ to: When rc == 101 Then bestnode = 'unknown' /* Won't match 'node' */ The current code works, but produces a broken error message. It has to do with PW ADD commands from domain addresses. The most elegant solution would be to copy the LSVDIST2 code to determine the actual nearest server into LSV$PW, but this is hardly a one-line zap, and I find it reasonable to say that the nearest LISTSERV host to your site is unknown and your request has been forwarded to the management. This is only the default exit anyway. Eric
