After receiving Stan's announcement of 1.5.10, I rushed right out to ftp
it for use with C-News ( 25 May 90).  I spent a couple of hours yesterday
afternoon porting it to AT&T Unix Sys V R 3.2.2 for AT&T 3B2 and
WIN/TCP R 3.0 ( which includes BSD4.2 socket libary emulations).  I used
the same values in conf.h that I'd used for 1.5.8 and left the new #defines
at their defaults.  Excpet for nntpxfer, I was able to get everything built
with C-News dbz support and installed.  A telnet to port 119 gave me the
1.5.10 [auth] sign-on and ready messages, my nntp feed was connecting and 
the tmp files were depositing in ~/in.coming so I thought everything was fine 
and went home.  Bad idea!!  I logged in later and noticed that all the tmp files
were still in ~/in.coming, none of the C-news batch files had been created.
Not only that, but all the nntp sessions were still "active" although a
netstat -a showed they were in CLOSE_WAIT.  Even after 7 hours they never
completly exited.  I had to manualy kill them all and re-install the 1.5.8
nntpd which is working just fine.

Does anyone have a clue as to what's going on?  I am about to pick up another
nntp feed site that wishes to use authentication, tus my desire to get
1.5.10 working.

Thanks in advance,
