Hi: I think I've found the cause to Netscape being confused and even committing suicide:) Apparently to a "GROUP comp.widnows.x.pex" request from Netscape nntpcache responded with 2 NOSUCHGROUP messages. One was generated by the remote server. This happened because nntpcache thinks that the group exists on the remote server while in reality it does not exist. Further investigation shows that the group is present in active.times but not in active. So the question is that is nntpcache making inferences from active.times and if so is it right or is the newsserver (INN) that I'm using on the wrong? -- Debian GNU/Linux 1.1 is out! { http://www.debian.org/ } Email: Herbert Xu ~{PmV>HI~} <herbert@greathan.apana.org.au> { http://greathan.apana.org.au/~herbert/ } PGP Key: pgp-public-keys@pgp.mit.edu or any other key sites
