Ok, I had the following problem; check the following console log: Ready; T=0.01/0.01 13:43:51 tell listserv for userid sub listname Ready; T=0.05/0.05 13:43:55 * You are not a registered NAD (Node Administrator) for node CLVM. The NADs * for this node are xxxxxx@CLEMSON and [log in to unmask] I was told earlier that it appeared as though LISTSERV was out of synch with my BITEARN NODES file, and that I should restart LISTSERV. Well, I knew that LISTSERV had been restarted, because I scheduled an IPL the morning after I updated the BITEARN NODES file. Ok, I restarted LISTSERV anyways, with the results I expected; it didn't do any good. So, I got to looking through the documentation (radical idea, huh? :-) and found the nifty 'NODESGEN' command. I ran that, and it worked wonders! My question is: can LISTSERV be made to realize that the BITEARN NODES file has been updated, and run the NODESGEN utility automatically when it is started? Or is there a way around this situation? Thanks for any assistance.
