I noticed when I logged in today a file / info dump printed to the screen but when I logged out and in again it was gone. Perhaps that's what you're talking about? Understand that I did not write SYSLOGIN.COM or any of this configuration ... I would not have imagined someone would have a messed up SYSLOGIN.COM to cause the issue you described. There may be another explanation. I am trying to "take over" from where they guy that set this machine up left off and learn how this particular server was set up and why. I want to fix, but I also know System administration tends to reflect the personality of the admin, people have reasons for things. I am making the assumption that given this was a production system there must be some reasons for things. Eventually I can try to improve. When I log in using Evan's account, I can get in but I have a disk quota exceeded error when I try to generate an email message. MAIL> mail To: SMTP%"evan@snarc.net" Subj: VAX USERN/PASS %MAIL-E-OPENOUT, error opening COBK$DATA:[COBK.PERSONAL.EKOBLENTZ]MAIL_0128_SEND .TMP; as output -RMS-E-CRE, ACP file create failed -SYSTEM-F-EXDISKQUOTA, disk quota exceeded Thanks for you help.

The problem was a poorly written SYLOGIN.COM file!!! That "Sorry%" message was found in the SYLOGIN.COM file.

Evan's password will need to be reset. It is presently the magic word from Adventure twice. ;)

Sadly, the stupid SYLOGIN.COM, redefined command DELETE, so the SYLOGIN.COM file is NO LONGER there. It didn't do all that much and what it did to was wrong and stupid, so start over and learn some DCL.
