What do you make of the following C-news /usr/lib/news/log file entry:
Aug 20 14:35:28.028 caen f <3Riraq-stealth_16f@clarinet.com>
The name of the news site is caen...
Any ideas?

Yes - I'm guilty. Sorry about that - I was hoping to release a new version of nntplink (which would include the correct documentation about my changes to relaynews) soon enough that I wouldn't have to release just a new relaynews patch. I guess I'd better go ahead and release a patch only for relaynews. I'll send mail to the "linkers" mailing list once I've got that patch online. If you aren't on the Linkers mailing list yet would like to get the new patch just drop me a note and I'll make sure to tell you when (and where) it's available. What the flag means is that a cancel control message came across but there wasn't an article to cancel (f == failed). ...dave
