I've been having some problems with our news system and I wonder if
anyone here might be able to give me a lead on where to hunt it down.
I'm running B news (not sure which version) on a network of Sun systems.
News is kept on the server and each local node access it with 'nfs'
versions of the normal news software (nfsreadnews, nfsrn, nfsinews, etc.).
We can read the news just fine from any node. However, we can only
post from the server. Any attempt to post from one of the client nodes
results in a "Post did not succeed" type of message.
This didn't used to be a problem until we changed the name of the
server. I suspect that the name is somehow harcoded into the software
but I can't figure out where because I don't have the sources for the
software that is running on our system (I have sources for a later
version of B news and the sources for C news but I'm hesitant to re-install
either because I might blow up the news feed).
Any suggestions? Please respond by e-mail.
Thanks.
