This is not a bug report, just a heads-up on my ongoing Y2K issues: I'm mostly just interested to know if anyone else is having these problems. Ever since midnight Jan 1, 2000 _GMT_, I have found nntpcached fails to talk to GNUS unless I clear out the cache.mmap and rebuild it. The problem has returned several times since the roll-over and I wonder if it might be caused by incoming messages dated January 100 A.D. It does not appear to be a corruption of cache.mmap because other applications other than GNUS can access the nntp server without problems, and it does not appear to be a GNUS bug because it works fine when talking directly to an INND nntpserver at my ISP. The problem only manifests in the space between these applications. This may or may not be another clue, but I also see logfile reports from my caching nameserver telling me just about every DNS in the known universe is 'lame' ... I found this hard to believe and restarted named, and the problem went away (so far). For reference, I am running Linux 2.2.12 on Intel, and all of my system applications (not including the kernel) are from the Mandrake 6.1 kit -- Gary Lawrence Murphy <garym@canada.com> TeleDynamics Communications Inc Business Telecom Services : Internet Consulting : http://www.teledyn.com Linux/GNU Education Group: http://www.egroups.com/group/linux-education/ "Computers are useless.
