Message-ID: <471@cica.cica.indiana.edu> Date: 19 Feb 90 14:25:37 GMT Organization: Center for Innov. Comp. Appl., Bloomington, IN Lines: 26 ][ NN (6.3.7 #61) has been acting very flaky lately. After finally getting the daemon to scan for news, now over half of our groups are "blocked." This has been the case for almost two days now. Any recommended solution? Also, I'm noticing these error messages in the Log file: N: Feb 19 08:35 (M): Lost connection to server cica.cica.indiana.edu: No such file or directory NNMASTER is running on cica. Why it cannot talk to itself is beyond me. The file /usr/lib/nntp_server exists and contains "cica.cica.indiana.edu". Sure'd be nice to get a better error message! -- michael regoli mr@cica.indiana.edu regoli@iubacs.bitnet ...rutgers!iuvax!cica!mr things fall apart--it's scientific.
