Linking Accept to Dist

Hi, I wanted to make our list subscriber only, so I uncommented the foreign_submit line per the FAQ. However, I soon realized that nobody except the one address that was in the accept file was able to post to the list. Evidently, the accept list was never linked to the dist list, or somehow became unlinked. Anyway, I'm a Linux rookie, but I did figure out how to SSH into my site through my web provider, then I used the following shell commands: rm accept ln dist accept This seemed to do the trick, but did I do it right? Any ideas how the file may have become unlinked in the first place? -- Bruce Vander Werf brucev@cyberlink.com
