Hi, Thanks for the reply. But I have only 57 newsgroups on the site i am trying to get and the message is 503 initial server rebuild in progress (57 groups complete), please try again la ter. And thats the status all along. When i start nntpcached, i get two processes, one that is waiting for nntp connections and another that says nntpcache: merging "active" <- newsgroups.bea.com and whhich changes to nntpcache: merging "active.times" <- newsgroups.bea.com nntpcache: merging "newsgroups" <- newsgroups.bea.com and some time later, this one dies and only one remains the message i get in the /var/log/news/news.err is Oct 11 18:52:10 zero nntpcache-nocem[15668]: nocem.c:325:Bad file descriptor: gr oup change to 'news.lists.filters' failed thereafter nothing happens except for the 503 error. Any pointers to what this can be?
