news@sppy00.UUCP (Usenet news) (12/02/86)
We receive our news from one machine - osu-eddie. As our only news feed, we are very dependent on the frequency of it's polling, etc. So, I, said one fine day, how about if we call our news feed now and then to speed up delivery! Anyway, I made uucp run, and now I see an odd problem. When our feed calls us and drops off news (in /usr/spool/uucp/TM./xxx), the news gets distributed just fine. When we call our feed and run uucico, etc, the files appear just fine in TM./xxx, but the distribution fails utterly. Today the s/w managed to lose 700,000 bytes worth - one file. News software version: 2.10.3, pyramid OS 3.1 distribution. Maybe going to 2.11 will fix. Anyway, I don't have the sources/binaries, probably because of the above-mentioned problem!! Anyone experience something like this? HELP ME PLEASE! Thanks for any and all comments/advice...mail directly to ...osu-eddie!sppy00!news.
