All is well now that I've recompiled nn to grab articles directly from the spool rather than from nntp itself. (Now looking back, I'm not certain why I enabled nntp support on the server machine to begin with. It must have been one of those days.) >I just changed from 6.4.12 to 6.4.13. Now I just realized I missed patch 13! Thanks, Jim-bo! ;) >It seems to me that nn is not reacting correctly to some sort of error >message or bogus nntp message. News seems to be acting flaky generally around here. We're seeing lots of duplicate articles and a slowdown in volume... Some talk of this is going on in some of the news.* groups. -- michael regoli mr@ogre.cica.indiana.edu regoli@iubacs.BITNET ..rutgers!iuvax!ogre!mr
