[news.software.b] Can't post to world

weyrich@csun1.UUCP (Orville Weyrich) (02/17/89)

I have a problem on my system which two different sysadmin's have tried but
failed to correct, and have turned over to me (a relative novice) to deal
with because they have too many more "important" things to do. (please be
patient :-)).

We are running news B2.11 on a Sun 3/280 under SunOS 3.4.  Everything
works *EXCEPT* posting with a distribution of world.  If I post to the
world, the message appears on the local machine, but doesn't seem to go
anywhere else (posts to misc.test are echoed if I post to na, but not if
I post to world).

We previously had run news on a 3b5 (AT&T System V) and had no problems of
this sort; to the best of our knowledge, the same setup is being used on
the Sun as we used on the 3b5.  The 3b5 was taken out of commission, and
so now we only have the Sun to post news from, and it won't ...

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
