The problem is that other people request that SIGNOFF * (NETWIDE be removed and replaced by a short note telling the person in question to ask his node administrator to perform the change for him, and for any other account which might be in the process of being deleted at the same time. The reason is very simple: this costs quite a lot of CPU time, on all the servers in the network, when the guy usually is subscribed only on a few of them. How do the rest of you feel about this? I don't really know what to do, apart from trying to speed up the thing (which quite difficult given the speed of REXX :-( ) Eric
