About the trouble at LISTSERV@TREARN, sorry for my slow response time. Here is what happened, and what I did: For the last week or so, I have been receiving many: 'A checksum error on GLOBLIST FILE for ..' and 'Received a file from LISTSERV@BITNIC with no recipients for the local server' types of messages. After receiving a message from Eric, informing me to check 'DOMAIN NAMES' file, I found that the DOMAIN NAMES was copied to the 'A' disk as well. So, I renamed it, and now LISTSERV accesses the DOMAIN NAMES of NETSERV 193 disk. That looks better to me. The trouble has not ended - I am still receiving the above messages, and probably that poor node is still receiving mega files from us. About disconnecting a node: Sounds good to me - even if WE are the node to be disconnected - provided it's for a LIMITED time disconnection! -turgut
