I upgraded to 1.7F this morning. I signed on to the LISTSERV id a little while ago to make a change to WAKEPARM FILE. I issued an X LOCAL SYSVARS command and LISTSERV said it was NOT authorized to use the X command. I then issued a SHUTDOWN command and again LISTSERV said it wasn't authorized to issue the command. I also tried issuing the SHUTDOWN command from my LISTSERV postmaster id and got the same result. I suspect that I have a configuration problem but I can't figure out what it might be. Can someone shed some light on this? Brian
