I have the same problem with having lingering locks files. I am also finding some groups are being 'CLOSED' for some reason. Cal Thixton Sun Microsystems {ucbvax,decvax,decwrl,ihnp4}!sun!{,texsun!}tj {ut-sally,convex,smu}!texsun!tj

Inspecting the code shows that it must be some type of race condition between nfarchive and nfrcv (or newsinput). I suspect nfarchive failing before it re-opens the topic but can't confirm that. --Paul Bame UUCP: {hplabs,ihnp4!hpfcla}!hp-lsd!paul CSNET: hp-lsd!paul@hp-labs.csnet ARPA: hp-lsd!paul%hp-labs@csnet-relay.arpa

Here at OKSTATE, we are testing modifications to notes that fix the mod.computers.* and related problems. When we are satisfied, more information will be posted. There are certain problems, that still need to be looked into, such as absolute paths, and what happens to all of those notes files that are archived on tape.
