Until recently we were running rn 4.3 (4.3BSD baseline release) on one of our VAXen running Ultrix 3.1, which worked fine. Then we obtained the source for NNTP and RN at PL 48, and installed RRN on all our other machines (Suns and VAXen). This works fine. However, when I compiled the same source as RN to use on the machine which runs our news software, it compiled fine, but evertime I try to start it, I get a "Caught a SIGILL ... newsrc restored" and the process hangs until sent a ^\. Applying patches 49 and 50 does not make any difference to this phenomenon. Has anyone observed this and/or have any ideas where I might start looking for the problem? -- W.N.Paul, Int. Institute f.

Wierd. A V3500 with Ultrix 3.1 (rev 9) is my principle development environment for NNTP and RN/RRN. I use RN in the environment all the time with no bad results. Perhaps there is a particular mix of configuration variables that don't work. I would suggest the following: 1. Get a fresh copy of the fully patched kit and try that. 2. Send me your config.sh/config.h files so I can try to reproduce the problem. 3. See if you have the problem with trn. Let me know. -- Stan internet: sob@bcm.tmc.edu Director, Networking Olan uucp: {rutgers,mailrus}!bcm!sob and Systems Support Barber Opinions expressed are only mine. Baylor College of Medicine
