If the command fails it knows that there are no thread files around. Whether trn looks for this is settable on a per-source basis. You can affect the global default by editing the lib/trn/access.def file, uncommenting the [default] section, and tweaking the values to your hearts content. The one that affects this probe is this line: Thread Dir = none You can also set it in your ~/.trn/access file for each news source. (FYI, all this info is pertaining to trn 4, not trn 3.) > XMODE READER This is probably caused by a really old NNTP client from the days when the MODE command was an extension command. A modern trn shouldn't be generating that command, but I don't remember if a really old version might have sent it or not. ..wayne.. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: Thawte.com Understand how to protect your customers personal information by implementing SSL on your Apache Web Server.
