Hi
I asked this several weeks back but didn't get any responses.. I'll have one
more try..
We run nn on a single host. The MASTER file is held in /usr/spool/news/.nn
directory. We have an entry
/usr/local/lib/nn/nnmaster -l -r -C
in /etc/rc.local
When we reboot the system, nnmaster fails with the following messages:
Incomplete MASTER file
Abnormal termination, exit=7
To get it to start, we have to manually do:
...../nnmaster -O60 -C
then
..../nnmaster -r -O46
Anyone seen this 'Incomplete MASTER file ' report before? The MASTER file
looks OK as far as I can tell (its not empty or anything)
I'd appreciate any incoming light on this. Thanks!
Lindsay
