We have two file-servers, a 3/160 and a 3/180, running 3.4. I have NNTP 1.5 (26 Feb 88). Currently we read over NFS and post likewise; this is obviously a but dodgy on the locking front. My intention is to continue to read via NFS but to post over NNTP. nntpd starts up OK, and the mini-inews reports success. But nothing happens --- nothing goes in to news' log or errlog. The NNTP log contains details of the call and its "successful" posting. I hacked inews to redirect its "DEBUG" output to a file --- according to this inews never even calls history! Files of zero-length called L are left in /tmp on the server. Does anyone have any ideas, please? We're absolutely stuck! Reading news over NNTP seems to work, by the way, as far as "telnet server nntp" tells me. ian -- INTERNET: BattenIG%cs.bham.ac.uk@cunyvm.cuny.edu JANET: BattenIG@uk.ac.bham.cs BITNET: BattenIG%cs.bham.ac.uk@ukacrl.bitnet UUCP: ...!mcvax!bhamcs!BattenIG Phone: +44 21 414 4766.
