Any suggestions will be more than welcome! That would be rather harsh for that user.. (S)he may be unreachable only for a few days, although this is NOT the case, usually. Instead, I would like to recommend all NADs to notify a backbone LISTSERV whenever they are removing people from their directories. It is a simple procedure, and please use it to stop the suffering of the list owners. Here is what you need to do: create a file, where you list the names of the users to be removed. Try to have many users in one file, rather than a separate file for every user. The file should look like: // JOB Echo=No Reply-To=None QUIET DEL * DD=NAMES (NETWIDE //NAMES DD * USER1TREARN USER2@TREARN USER3@TREARN USER9999@TREARN /* Then, send this file to LISTSERV.. Simply use SENDFILE. (Note: Only NADs of that node can delete users. So, if you are a NAD at FRMOP11, you can only remove people from FRMOP11 - LISTSERV learns this info from BITEARN NODES)... Hope this info helps.. Regards, -turgut
