Message-ID: <754@ncc.UUCP> Date: Sun, 2-Nov-86 20:50:48 EST Article-I.D.: ncc.754 Posted: Sun Nov 2 20:50:48 1986 Date-Received: Mon, 3-Nov-86 15:42:43 EST Sender: lyndon@ncc.UUCP Distribution: can Organization: Nexus Computing Corp., Edmonton, AB Lines: 19 Keywords: lots and lots and lots and lots of UUCP jobs The system seemed a wee bit sluggish this afternoon. A quick 'ps' showed approx. 20 uucico's running. Not bad when you consider that we only have one phone line...:-) An 'ls /usr/spool/uucp | wc -l' came back with something silly like 2813! A little poking around showed that all news articles from alberta had a Path: header of 'ncc!pembina!...' instead of the usual 'ncc!alberta!...' which caused rnews to immediately turn around and forward the message to alberta. What's a poor boy to do? Well, if you take news directly from alberta, try the following entry in /usr/lib/news/sys: alberta/pembina:...:F: Is this a trick to make us upgrade to 2.11? :-) -- Lyndon Nerenberg (VE6BBM) Systems Group - A Div. of Nexus Computing Corp.
