Hi All, I'm kinda new to nntpcache, and have compiled and loaded up, and running live, the latest nntcache 3.01 version. On a RedHat 6.2 box, with all the latest updates. Works fine, but, the articles are always being expired, deleted and purged, whenever an expire event occurs. Even though there is 2 gig free, plenty of space, blockes, inodes, files, whatever. But it deletes all articles anyway. My config consists of the stock standard samples, with a few required changes, like a single parent. I can't see how I've missed anything, and have spent a few days looking at all the doco, again, and again. But I'm sure this has got to be a simple thing, as it is so fundamental to the whole nntpcache thing. I've attached a few extracts below, which might help someone understand what's going on. Thanks heaps. Really want to fill that 2 gig up a bit :-( Mark --------------------------------------------- [root@auth nntpcache]# df Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 4719972 2117788 2362416 47% / [root@auth nntpcache]# --------------------------------------------- /var/log/messages extract Jun 28 15:44:29 auth nntpcache-client[24871]: client task awakening Jun 28 15:44:29 auth nntpcache-update[24872]: update task awakening Jun 28 15:44:29 auth nntpcache-client[24871]: refused connect from unknown@proxy.terminus.net.au (203.25.143.2) Jun 28 15:44:29 auth nntpcache-client[24871]: proxy.terminus.net.au no_access Jun 28 15:44:29 auth nntpcache-client[24871]: client task retiring Jun 28 15:44:29 auth nntpcache-client[24871]: proxy.terminus.net.au exit articles 0 groups 0 bytes 134 Jun 28 15:44:29 auth nntpcache-client[24871]: proxy.terminus.net.au times user 0.00 system 0.01 elapsed 0.00 Jun 28 15:44:29 auth nntpcache-client[24871]: clean shutdown Jun 28 15:44:29 auth nntpcache-expire[24873]: expire task awakening Jun 28 15:44:29 auth nntpcache-update[24872]: update task retiring Jun 28 15:44:29 auth nntpcache-update[24872]: clean shutdown Jun 28 15:44:31 auth nntpcache-expire[24873]: expire.c:228: usedblocks = 49.9%, usedinodes = 8.3%, maxArtAge = 56s, expire ended Jun 28 15:44:31 auth nntpcache-expire[24873]: expire task retiring Jun 28 15:44:31 auth nntpcache-expire[24873]: clean shutdown --------------------------------------------- [root@auth nntpcache]# grep -v '^#' nntpcache.servers news.bekkers.com.au. 203.56.255.11 4h 24h 2d 30m 60d 60d %BeginGroups * news.bekkers.com.au. --------------------------------------------- [root@auth nntpcache]# diff nntpcache.config nntpcache.config-dist 29c29 < adminEmail network@reynolds.net.au --- > adminEmail usenet@auth 339c339 < Organization Reynolds Technology Pty Ltd --- > Organization Ye 'Ol Disorganized NNTPCache groupie 383c383 < minFilesFreePercent 10 --- > minFilesFreePercent 30 386c386 < minBlocksFreePercent 10 --- > minBlocksFreePercent 30 395c395 < maxArtAge 12w --- > maxArtAge 2w --------------------------------------------- [root@auth nntpcache]# diff nntpcache.access nntpcache.access-dist 99c99 < #<nocem@nntpcache> * read,quick --- > <nocem@nntpcache> * read,quick 104c104 < #polysynaptic.iq.org * read,post,quick --- > polysynaptic.iq.org * read,post,quick 108,116c108,111 < #localhost * read,post,filter spam.filter < #suburbia.net * read,post < #*.suburbia.net * read,post < 203.56.255.* * read,post < 203.13.164.* * read,post < 172.28.0.* * read,post < 172.28.1.* * read,post < 172.28.2.* * read,post < 10.0.0.* * read,post --- > localhost * read,post,filter spam.filter > suburbia.net * read,post > *.suburbia.net * read,post > 203.4.184.* * read,post 118c113 < #* tempered.* deny --- > * tempered.* deny 121c116 < #lemming.dsd.gov.au * ihave --- > lemming.dsd.gov.au * ihave 123c118 < #tinkertrain.suburbia.net * ihave,read,post --- > tinkertrain.suburbia.net * ihave,read,post 129,134c124,129 < #connectnet.net.au suburbia.* read < #*.connectnet.net.au suburbia.* read < #proff@*.gnu.ai.mit.edu suburbia.* read < #*.uwes.navy.mil suburbia.* read < #four.net suburbia.* post,read < #salz@*.bbn.com suburbia.* read,post --- > connectnet.net.au suburbia.* read > *.connectnet.net.au suburbia.* read > proff@*.gnu.ai.mit.edu suburbia.* read > *.uwes.navy.mil suburbia.* read > four.net suburbia.* post,read > salz@*.bbn.com suburbia.* read,post 138c133 < #*@iq.org tempered.* read,post --- > *@iq.org tempered.* read,post 140,141c135,136 < #* *pictures* deny,strip < #* *binaries* deny,strip --- > * *pictures* deny,strip > * *binaries* deny,strip 143,144c138,139 < #* *.-.*, deny,strip < #* *._.* deny,strip --- > * *.-.*, deny,strip > * *._.* deny,strip [root@auth nntpcache]# --- Mark Reynolds Managing Director Reynolds Technology Pty Ltd Phone 1300 656 424 http://www.reynolds.net.au Phone 08 9474 1211 mailto:mark@reynolds.net.au Fax 08 9474 9592 PO Box 945 South Perth 6951 WA Pager 08 9480 5884 19 Lyall St South Perth 6151 WA ABN 73 078 831 740 ACN 078 831 740 _______________________________________________ NNTPCache-users mailing list NNTPCache-users@nntpcache.org http://www.nntpcache.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nntpcache-users
