To which a very nice person replied as follows: > > First, the "list" has a password, too! > Does that password not work? > > Does somebody ever logon to LISTSERV, > and ERASE some files, or "clean-up" the 'LASTING GLOBALV' file? > This could be the cause of the "memory-problem" ! I sent the above to the person who is having the problem, and he responded in these terms: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The SINFONIA "list" password has always worked. As soon as I get a notice that my personal password does not work, I return the message using the list password, and it has always gone through. Then I send in a PW=ADD command and usually get a response that it is accepted, and then the personal password will work again for awhile. No one has logged in to erase files or clean-up the 'Lasting Globalv' file in age if ever. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any comments? Thanks.
