I'm having further problems with nntpcache-1.0.6 (Under Solaris 2.4) * When I connect to it through telnet, no groups are available. * Whenever a client quits, nntpcache core dumps and dies. It appears, on inspection to be in DoIPC() in the IPC_STATS case. * Suggestion: When parsing the servers file, make sure that all hosts mentioned after %BeginGroups have an appropriate entry before. >From syslog: May 20 11:46:06 melbin nntpcached[29689]: nntpcache.c:729: cwd now /opt/local/news/etc/nntpcache May 20 11:46:06 melbin nntpcached[29689]: nntpcache.c:763: cwd now /var/news/nntpcache May 20 11:46:06 melbin nntpcached[29689]: waiting for connections on DEFAULT:119...
