McGee) Newsgroups: news.software.nntp Subject: Loosing Connections ??? Message-ID: <1991May23.213510.20752@cse.uta.edu> Date: 23 May 91 21:35:10 GMT Organization: Computer Science Engineering Univ. of Texas at Arlington Lines: 15 Our remote news readers are having problems. Immediately after they post a message they loose their connection with the news server. Their message does go through. We have just upgraded to nntp 1.5.11 from 1.5.9. The XFER_TIMEOUT is set for 30 min, and TIMEOUT is set for 2 hours (defined in conf.h). We have seen timeout messages in our syslog, but no transfer_timeouts. The server is a Microvax running Ultrix. We have heard that this has been a problem in the past and there are fixes floating around. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks... _________________________________________________________________________ | Mark McGee | News System Manager | The University of Texas at Arlington | mcgee@cse.uta.edu
