We are running V5.8A news on Version 5.0-2 VMS. My problem is that nothing will connect with my NNTP_TCPCMU port. If I compile the code with DEBUG the logfile is modified, but nothing is written it. In this case the client fails with CANTVA_cc_1> r nntp_client Node: cantva Channel (TCP or DECNET)? [DECNET]: tcp %NONAME-E-NOMSG, Message number 086380F2 %SYSTEM-F-ABORT, abort a telnet/port=119 hangs, failing to make a connection. If I dont compile the code with debug, and it doesnt try and write the log file telnet will connect to the port (but see no response), and the client fails with CANTVA_cc_1> r nntp_client Node: cucom Channel (TCP or DECNET)? [DECNET]: tcp %SYSTEM-F-ABORT, abort Can anyone tell me 1) why I cant get anything written to the log file, and/or 2) why it wont work. The tcp$newsrv image is installed with SYSPRV and SYSNAM, and all the files have w:rwe access (at least while I am debugging). I should add that I am currently successfully operating as a TCP CLIENT of the Unix node which i want to TCP SERVE. ... help ...
