Did NNTPCache report anything to syslog about why it didn't want to continue past that point? It appears from the NNRP log that the server is getting confused at some point, which sort of leads me to suspect the problem lies with the server, or the client sending incorrect commands. -- Luke Bowker, puke@suburbia.net, puke@deakin.edu.au Suburbia Public Access Network Site Sysadmin "Don't try to understand.
