I've used tin (currently v1.4) as my normal news reader for many years now without a problem. However, it seems to be having a problem re-reading the active file from the new nntpcache server I set up. In tin, if you press 'Y' or after it times out, it'll re-read the active file to see if there's any new articles. However, unless I restart the nntpcache daemon (which takes about 20 minutes) or enter a newsgroup and immediately exit, it doesn't think that there are any new articles to be read. I've tried tin v1.3 and v1.4 and also tried removing the .tin directory in case it was caching anything. Quitting and restarting tin doesn't seem to help either. Netscape Collabra seems to re-check for new articles fine (I found a rare problem with that as well, but it probably isn't related). BTW, all programs are running on Sun Ultra's running Solaris 2.6. Any ideas as to why this is happening would be appreciated. Thank you very much!
