Hi News Guru, I run Cnews (patch May 90 ) on Sun3/60 running 4.0.3 OS. NNTP.1.5.9. The bactch.log show : ....... Tue Oct 2 15:35:02 EDT 1990 samsung.com backlog 24692 (disk too full for batching) m2c.m2c.org backlog 24682 (disk too full for batching) Tue Oct 2 15:35:18 EDT 1990 Tue Oct 2 16:35:02 EDT 1990 samsung.com backlog 24781 (disk too full for batching) m2c.m2c.org backlog 24771 (disk too full for batching) Tue Oct 2 16:35:18 EDT 1990 ........ What is this means ? Also I noticed the active file keep changing and once a while a new newsgroup added. Is this a big security hole or feature ? -- |Thomas Yen | {Internet} tom@viewlogic.com | |Systems Manager | {UUCP} ...!samsung!cg-atla!viewlog!tom | |Viewlogic System, Inc. | {FAX} 508-480-0882 |

It means you've got very large backlogs of news waiting to be sent to those sites, because "spacefor" thinks your disk is too full for it to be safe to prepare batches for them. You need to either free up some space or reduce the thresholds in spacefor. > Also I noticed the active file keep changing and once a while > a new newsgroup added. Is this a big security hole or feature ? This is normal. It sounds like you're not very familiar with the way news works; we recommend the Nutshell Handbook: "Managing UUCP and Usenet", by Tim O'Reilly and Grace Todino, O'Reilly & Associates, 1989, ISBN 0-937175-48-X. This latest edition covers C News as well as B News. It's not perfect but it's lots better than nothing.
