Running NJE 1.8b version If I specify: Subscription= By_owner,Confirm in combination with: Confidential= Service Service= local Local= [list of nodes] Then: if a subscription request comes in from outside the "local" area, would/should the "owner" see it. Phrasing of first line in discussion of "Service" seems to imply "not" but maybe there is/should-be an 'unless' for By_owner ? - mike
