HELP! I am not sure what happened, or if it might have anything to do with the fact that I updated LISTSERV to 1.7a yesterday, but below is a console log of a problem I encountered this morning: TELL LISTSERV FOR userid SUB listname personal name Ready; T=0.05/0.06 10:57:54 * You are not a registered NAD (Node Administrator) for node CLVM. The NADs * for this node are DAVIDC@CLEMSON and [log in to unmask] The account that I issued this command from is the owner of the list in question, and should be able to do this, correct? But the bigger question is, why the big-time screw-up with the NAD? Some background : I do have the old style BITEARN NODES file, but according to the docs that came with the new LISTSERV, that shouldn't matter. Is it possible that I misread the docs and 1.7a needs the new file format? The list in question is private (closed) subscription, and that is why I am trying to add people in this fashion. Of course, it is possible that I messed up somewhere else, like using the wrong command to try to add the person, in which case I will gladly accept comments pointing me in the right direction. :-) Any help would be greatly appreciated!
