NADs, by definition, are allowed to delete userids originating at their node (or :internet. equivalent) from REMOTE lists. If the list is "protected", they might need a personal password assigned to them on the remote LISTSERV (not list) i.e., PW ADD pswd; and then reference the PW. If I sent the following to listserv@osuvm1 DEL * *@PSUADMIN PW=xxxx from my NAD account on PSUADMIN, it would delete all PSUADMIN and OAS.PSU.EDU userids from all lists maintained on OSUVM1.
