Dear Fellow Netnews Administrators: I am running news release 2.11 patch level 13. When uuhosts runs it is not correctly extracting the all of the hosts in the "d.usa...." files. The README that I received with the news softare states that there should be EXACTLY ONE hostname on the "#N" line of the map entry. The "d.usa..." files we receive have several hosts on that line. What does something like this mean? This is a line from my d.usa.oh.1 -----> #N .att.com, cbosgd, clyde, ihnp4, ulysses, mtune file I received in February 1988. When uuhosts runs it does not create an entry for 'cbosgd' in the "Index" file since uuhosts only looks for the first system name in the "#N" file. When I issue the command: $ uuhosts mtune <RETURN> I don't receive any "uuwhere" information about it. It gives me a path but I'm not sure how pathalias figured it out since there is not a seperate map entry for the system "mtune" nor it's neighboring sites. I looked through the news.admin and news.config newsgroups for some help in this area but there was nothing relevant. We would greatly appreciate any assistance you could offer in this area. Also, I mailed a request to "sources@uunet.uu.net" for patch #14 but haven't received any word yet. Is this the best place to look for such software? Thanks in advance.
