Most of the entries logged by nntpcache are caused by clients that either just disconnect without saying QUIT, or say QUIT and don't wait for the response (I suspect Mozilla as the primary culprit). Here is a small patch to lower the priority of this message. --- nntpcache.c-dist Thu Mar 6 09:54:34 1997 +++ nntpcache.c Thu Mar 6 09:54:54 1997 @@ -180,7 +180,7 @@ static RETSIGTYPE sigpipe (int sig) { signal (SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN); /* syslog can cause a SIGPIPE ! */ - logw (("client disconnected before QUIT ACK")); + logd (("client disconnected before QUIT ACK")); Exit (); } @@ -1036,7 +1036,7 @@ #endif if (!Get (buf, sizeof buf)) { - logw (("client disconnected before QUIT")); + logd (("client disconnected before QUIT")); Exit (); } if (con.statistics) -- `O O' | Nick.Holloway@alfie.demon.co.uk http://www.alfie.demon.co.uk/ // ^ \\ | Nick.Holloway@parallax.co.uk http://www.parallax.co.uk/~alfie/
