I am running CNEWS with the latest patch being 16-APR-1990.
My errlog.o had this error:
> relaynews: control `kill <1001@merlin.telcom.arizona.edu>' looks unsafe to execute
Has my sytem already made a decision and gotten rid of this request before
I can look at it to see why it is unsafe? Or is stored somewhere for my
perusal? Any information would be appreciated.

One more question on this topic: Has the entire batch been tossed, or just the one message? The wording of the error log usually implies that I'd better go decompress the bad batch, fix or delete the offending section, and run it through again. Is it actually safe to simply assume that only the one bad article has been ignored? [Perhaps it would be good to put a clearer message in errlog, such as 'article ignored. batch containing article has been stored in 'bad' directory'... or something like that] Pete -- Peter Holzmann, Octopus Enterprises |(if you're a techie Christian & are 19611 La Mar Ct., Cupertino, CA 95014 |interested in helping w/ the Great UUCP: {hpda,pyramid}!octopus!pete |Commission, email dsa-contact@octopus) DSA office ans mach=408/996-7746;Work (SLP) voice=408/985-7400,FAX=408/985-0859

Problems with batching format etc. can toss whole batches, but in this case it is the content of the article that relaynews is objecting to, and only that article is affected. -- The 486 is to a modern CPU as a Jules | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology Verne reprint is to a modern SF novel. | henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry
