- I need some help with my misbehaving news installation.
-
- My NeXTstation Color running Rel3 won't work properly with the CNews.pkg
- installation found in sonata's /pub/next/patches. I open the package,
- follow the instructions to the letter, and when news transfers from the
- feeding site, it immediately returns a mail message to that site sent to
- its news daemon.
-
- I own Managing UUCP and Usenet, and found no helpful hints to troubleshoot
- news when it's already up and running. I've checked the obvious things
- like permissions and found nothing. But perhaps this is pertinent. I did find
- this mail message tucked away in /usr/spool/uucp:
-
- From uucp remote from magnusson
- received by magnusson (NX5.67c/NX3.0M)
- if AA00257; Thu 28 Jan 93
- From: <magnusson!uucp>
- To: doberman!news
- Subject: uuxqt cmd (rnews) status (signal 0, exit 1)
-
- If anyone wants to sink a little precious free time into helping me read
- news from my nice NewsGrazer UI instead of rn, I would greatly appreciate it.
-
- Just reply to this message. It'll bounce to my machine at home.
