We have been testing listserv.1.8a on our RS6000/AIX.3.2.5 server. I just upgraded to listserv.1.8b without no installation problem. However I am having problem creating new test lists and getting access to an old test list. To create the new list I followed the instruction given on the installation manual for list creation: copied sample.list to TEST-L.LIST, edited TEST-L.LIST, included myself as the owner, changed the ownership of this list to listserv, followed the instruction to add the entries in /etc/aliases, run newaliases, restarted sendmail, issued the command mail [log in to unmask] < TESTLIST-L.LIST. Then I got the message from listserv: You are not allowed to create new list. I am also listed as the postmaster. When I tried to get an old list using GET, listserv tells me that list has been locked by me and to unlock it first. When I use UNLOCK to unlock the list, it tells me list has been unlocked. Then I try GET again it tells me to UNLOCK it first. I am new to listserv and I am not sure what is going on. Any help is greatly appreciated. Abi [log in to unmask]
