[news.sysadmin] Help with "No News" messages

itkin@mrspoc.Transact.COM (Steven M. List) (03/23/91)

I'm posting this for a friend who is having trouble with his Newsfeed
and asked for my help.  Please reply DIRECTLY TO HIM and by Email, as
he is having a bit of trouble reading news (as you will read).

==============================================================================
We recently converted to C - news after a major systems crash trashed our
B - news files. After recovering our b - news files as best we could, 
our feeder sight would transmit us news, but we could not read it.


	-- the system error message to a "vnews" request
	   was " No News"


Figuring that we had done sever damage to our b - news files
we obtained a copy of c- news and completed the conversion.

We have just discovered that we still have the problem of not 
being able to read. We have reviewed the systems documentation
and the latest O'Reilly " Managing uucp and usenet" with the 
c - news documentation update.


Does anyone have any idea why we get the "No News" error
message. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
