I'm trying to evaluate nntpcache.. Up till a bit ago, I was liking what I was seeing.. But... Somewhere in the last 3-4 hours, it up and died on me.. Nothing in the logfiles, nothing anywhere to tell me what went wrong.. I tried restarting it.. The first time, it started.. But, it never hit the upstream server to do it's initial transfer... After about 10 minutes of it not doing anything, I killed it.. Now, I'm wanting to run it in the foreground, to try and figure out what is wrong, so I start it with -n.. All I get is the banner, and then "Aborted" .. Again, nothing in any log files.. Can not find a stuck .pid anywhere, nothing.. Any help appreciated, as this looks like a very viable solution to our situation here.. Server is RH 6.1, with all the errata, running on a dual Celeron with software raided drives, if any of that makes a difference.. Thanks for any and all help..
