Lately, I've been getting dozens of control messages like this one, all from the same source. Cnews here rejects these as 'unsafe to execute' so no damage at this site. Has someone out there got a broken news program/reader/mailer? Is there a 'nasty' out there tying to do some unkind things to the net? ******* OR ******** Is the problem on MY end because I do not subscribe to news.software.anu-news? ************************quoted message follows: ******************************* ??> Path: pmsmam!umich!samsung!rex!wuarchive!kuhub.cc.ukans.edu!sloane ??> From: sloane@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu ??> Newsgroups: news.software.anu-news ??> Subject: <None> ??> Message-ID: <25126.26b93642@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu> ??> Date: 3 Aug 90 13:30:58 GMT ??> Control: Cancel <9008030527.AA07066@fobsun1.gatech.edu.gatech.edu> ??> Sender: ANU-NEWS Discussion <ANU-NEWS@NDSUVM1.BITNET> ??> Reply-To: sloane@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu ??> Lines: 3 ??> ??> remote execution [uucp job fobsun1M188d (8/3-1:27:30)] ??> emory!rmail dcatla!itsns ??> execution permission denied to gatech!gatech!gatech!VM1.NoDak.EDU!ANU-NEWS All replies greatfully appreciated. -- Bill Meahan WA8TZG uunet!mailrus!umich!pmsmam!wwm I don't speak for Ford - the PR department does that!
