[news.admin] Truncated xconq5/part15 detected at decwrl

vixie@palo-alto.DEC.COM (Paul Vixie) (07/03/88)

I got a good version from ubvax, who got it from ames!mailrus!...; our
truncated version came from purdue!mailrus!...; therefore Purdue's version
may also be messed up unless it's something we did here.

The truncation looks sort of likeQUIT

Like that.  A "QUIT" in the middle of a doc file.  NNTP turds, perhaps?

Anyway, I've replaced our version but it's probably already gone out.  If
it's a wide problem, I've asked bill@tekred to re-post; otherwise I'll
mail or post copies from here.

The version of NNTP distributed with 4.3BSD (1.2a, I think) suffered
from this problem. Version 1.3 fixed it, and version 1.5 is the
latest stuff (1.4 was never released officially). If you're running
anything older than 1.5 NNTP, please fetch the tar files from
ucbvax.berkeley.edu [10.2.0.78] with anonymous FTP, and install
them - you'll be glad you did.
