Ben, LISTSERV doesn't have a magic wand. Given that it has a 291 minidisk on which there is DOMAIN NAMES et al, that it has no divinatory power and that it does manage to find the file, the only possible reason is that something is accessing that disk. Maybe you have a SYSPROF that automatically accesses a 291, I don't know. Try TELL LISTSERV CMS LI DOMAIN NAMES *, find out the filemode of the disk, and look up the PROFILE EXEC and SYSPROF EXEC for an access of that disk. Eric
